December Noteworthy Movements

[Stefan Perkas]

Evening all,

I thought this would be the best place to put this.... The 1st flight should start tomorrow 2/12/11

As per 01DEC11 GDS timetable and inventory display, China Southern from 01DEC11 to 31DEC11 is adjusting planned operational aircraft on Guangzhou – Sydney service.

During this period, all 2 Daily service operates with Boeing 777-200ER, instead of 1 Daily each of 777 and A330. This also means there will be no First Class service offered on this route in Dec 2011.

Schedule:

CZ301 CAN0820 – 2040SYD 777 D
CZ325 CAN2105 – 0930+1SYD 777 D

CZ326 SYD1050 – 1700CAN 777 D
CZ302 SYD2215 – 0500+1CAN 777 D


Hopefully you guys get a glimpse of the Skyteam livery B772 on the daylight flight. Rego is B-2056.

[Jaryd stock]

Great hopefully the Skyteam livery will be in. Thanks Stefan.

[Brian Wilkes]

Any word on when or if Cargolux go over to 747-8F?

[Paul Hunter]

Just noticing Meridian Aviation Antonov 12 UR-CAH enroute Christmas Island to Richmond. MEM4091.

Regards.

[Jaryd stock]

Antonov landed about 1:45 this morning.

[Stefan Perkas]

Morning all,

You guys are in luck....

China Southern's 1st morning service with B772's is being operated by B-2056, which is in 'SKY TEAM' livery.

[Shayne G]

Just noticing Meridian Aviation Antonov 12 UR-CAH enroute Christmas Island to Richmond. MEM4091.

Regards.

Wow, it is like Richmond is having some sort of mini airshow, thats the 4th interesting movement in the last 2 months, all unique types we don't see.

UR-CAH was in Darwin a few months ago also. Unlikely but if anyone knows the departure time please let me know! :D

[J Brown]

It is inbound to Sydney now

[Jaryd stock]

Hasn't left Richmond yet...

[Peter Agatsiotis]

Managed a shot of the AN12 at Richmond this morning as well as a departing USAF C17 (06-6163).

[Ian Gains]

For anyone who didn't chase the AN-12, it has left Richmond & should just about be arriving in Sydney. Lucky buggers !

[Shayne G]

Thanks Ian, anyone got a departure time? I'm hoping it departs tommorrow!

[James S.]

I really want to chuck a sickie from work to just see the AN-12, or hopefully it departs Sunday.... My god that thing is smoooookeyyyyyy, the AI-20's sound brilliant too. Please keep us posted on departure times guys!

[James S.]

Removed.

[James S.]

I want to see it too, but I've got an appointment tomorrow. Please let it go in the evening around 6:30pm when the light will be perfect.
Agreed, the AN-12 will look great in the evening, I'm supposed to finish at 1pm. :D

[Chen W]

Tomorrow CZ 325 also will be operated by B-2056, 'SKY TEAM' livery.

[Brad Varney]

Awesome hope the AN-12 departs tomorrow, should be my 1st time seeing an AN aircraft,
Is she parked at the GA.
thanks

[phil.l]

thanks

was on the freight ramp.

[Jayden Laing]

Today's MH6207 will be the final time that we see a Southern Air B747-200 in SYD. MH will now be switching to the A332F or their own 744F!

[Tony G]

What time is that due in jayden? Thanks

[Jaryd stock]

Should of landed by now Tony give it 2hr turn around before departure...

[Tim Bowrey]

An-12 just departed with clearance for DPS. Very smokey as per usual.

[Shayne G]

Today's MH6207 will be the final time that we see a Southern Air B747-200 in SYD. MH will now be switching to the A332F or their own 744F!

They have attempted twice now to replace the 747 classics and have failed. September was the last planned visit, then from the 27th November it was suppose to be all 744 and A332 ops.
Todays flight seems to be yesterdays flight delayed, the aircraft must of went tech or servicing somewhere else since they used the 747 classic.
For the last several months N761SA has been the only Southern Air 747 classic operating for MASkargo too. I imagine they will keep the 747 classic until all their A332 Freighters arrive.
I doubt this will be the last time in Sydney for Southern Air 747 classics. N761SA will be back just not as often.

[James S.]

So annoyed that I missed the AN-12, oh well, next time. :(

[Jayden Laing]

Shayne,
That was the info a mate had passed onto me. I have no idea if it's true or not.

[Shayne G]

All good Jayden, not saying you are wrong I just doubt this is the end of Southern Air 747 classics to Sydney. However I've been having bad luck with posts lately so now I said they will come back they will probably dissapear.
Hopefully not though, you can't replace a classic. ;)

[Brad Varney]

So annoyed that I missed the AN-12, oh well, next time. :(

Shame that you missed it, heres a vid I made of her departing 16R, damn she was smokey. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7XReVEcn0M

[James S.]

Now that's some ridiculous smoke. Brilliant, hopefully one comes back in the future! :)

[lloyd fox]

For all the young spotters Brisbane had 1 and sometimes 2 AN12'S based there for 10-15 years till about 3 years ago.It sure was a highlight to see takeoff 2 or 3 times every week.

[Jaryd stock]

I still wish that Pacific Expeess IL-76 was still getting around....

[Shayne G]

For all the young spotters Brisbane had 1 and sometimes 2 AN12'S based there for 10-15 years till about 3 years ago.It sure was a highlight to see takeoff 2 or 3 times every week.

I remember them! Lots of little tales associated with them. I remember everytime one departed the airport and fire station would get a bunch of reports of an aircraft 'on fire'! :D

I still wish that Pacific Expeess IL-76 was still getting around....

If Heavylift was still operational, we may of had an Il-76 in the region! Though of course they also said they'd get an DC-10 and that didn't happen either.

Singapore Cargo today is 9V-SCA , 747-412 BCF.

[Shayne G]

1st visit for 9V-SCA since conversion to freighter, former 9V-SPA.

This now means both SQ Cargo 744BCF's have visited Sydney.

[Jaryd stock]

Every Monday will be the Singapore Cargo BCF from now on apparently...

[Jaryd stock]

Korean Air Cargo 585 is HL 7486, a 747-4B5 BCF as well today. don't know if this BCF is rarely in or not but I've never seen one in Sydney before in Korean colours....

[Brad Varney]

Hopefully she might be my ride to PHNL today :D

[Kieran Wells]

Haven't noticed it anywhere but VH-EBS newest Jetstar A332 due in from CNS as JQ16 up on Planefinder.

EBS Came in and left again today..

Another notable movement today was the arrival of a MAS Kargo A330. Rego was 9M-MUB.

[Steve Bottom]

Just logged Korean Air Cargo B747-400F HL-7466 , its the first time i have logged this aircraft flying over Cairns on rout to Sydney, so not sure if its a first visit to Sydney.

Time local is 7.40am (qld)

[Grahame Hutchison]

Hi Steve,

HL7466 has been into YSSY several time each year since 2006.

Two A330's today, VN-A381 and B-6536

[Kieran Wells]

Anyone know the reason for the 2 Air Pacific 738's instead of 1 x 744 today? The 738's were in within 15 minutes of each other..

[Shayne G]

B744 DQ-FJL is in SIN for maintenance I believe.

[Allen Choi]

Anyone know the reason for the 2 Air Pacific 738's instead of 1 x 744 today? The 738's were in within 15 minutes of each other..

I saw a Air Pacific 738 few days ago when I drive passed the airport too.

[Peter Agatsiotis]

On a smaller scale, my SBS log for yesterday afternoon showed these two movements:

VH-ZXS Saab 340 (179) for REX (FL150)
VH-RPA Emb120 (079) for Regional Pacific Airlines.

[Kieran Wells]

B744 DQ-FJL is in SIN for maintenance I believe.

Thanks Shayne. Thought this might be the case.

[lloyd fox]

Peter VH-ZXS now BNE based

[Peter Agatsiotis]

Nice Lloyd, whose scheme is that?

(BTW having problem with e-mails in case you've sent any)

[Jayden Laing]

That's the old Nok Air scheme Peter. The blue one is also in Wagga Wagga getting the same treatment. Both ferried back about 2 months ago from Thailand.

[Peter Agatsiotis]

Thanks Jayden, might see them here in future.

[Brenden S]

VH-RPA is now VH-TFX in Perth.

[Steve Bottom]

B744 DQ-FJL is in SIN for maintenance I believe.

Heading home, DQ-FJL over Cairns around 6.45pm (qld) at 41000 , no ADSB tracking, .

[David B.]

[Tim Bowrey]

MH6173 schedual for 1pm in so around then, depart about 3.30pm.

Cathay B748F operated by B-LJB today.

Side note that Vietnam is VN-A381 delivered 15 days ago.

[lloyd fox]

TC-ETK 330-200 of Atlasjet due BNE tonight.This aircraft will operate for Air Australia out of BNE,MEL from this Thursday on Phuket.
From what i was reading in the Australian it will be painted in Air Australia colors by May.

[Zac M]

Does anyone know if Brindibella Airlines has purchased an Aeropelican Jetstream? There has been on sitting over at the Brindibella base at CBR for around a month now (and operating for Brindibella), last time I was able to see the rego it was VH-OTH.

[Brock Little]

Brindabella and Aeropelican have merged so that would probably explain it.

[phil.l]

MH6173 schedual for 1pm in so around then, depart about 3.30pm.

[Jayden Laing]

KE8121 being operated by B772ER, HL7743 is just overhead Moree in bound to SYD. Would this be a delayed service or a charter??

[Shayne G]

I believe Korean Air operate one extra service at night some days in December every year with B777 equipment.

[Andrew Coggan]

KE8121 being operated by B772ER, HL7743 is just overhead Moree in bound to SYD. Would this be a delayed service or a charter??

There was one in the other day too with same callsign and about the same time.

[Stefan Perkas]

I believe Korean Air operate one extra service at night some days in December every year with B777 equipment.

Thats correct Shayne. The B777 operates every Monday, Wednesday and Friday until January 31st.

[Peter Agatsiotis]

Nice surprise; SQ241 is being operated by A330 9V-STQ.

[Tim Bowrey]

Nice surprise; SQ241 is being operated by A330 9V-STQ.

Hi Peter,

http://yssyforum.net/board/showthread.php?t=7521

[Tim Bowrey]

Southern Air 747-200F on decent into SYD as MH6405 just up on Flightradar24 so the classics sure arent going without a fight!

Also noted on flightradar24.com that QF1 yesterday was Squaking 7700 for general emergancy as seen at the top of the page. VH-OJQ was the aircraft.

http://www.flightradar24.com/2011-12-15/06:25/QFA1

[Shayne G]

Is a one off flight which explains different flight number.

Departs 6:40am tommorrow (17th Dec).

[Peter Agatsiotis]

Thanks Tim.

9V-STA today.

[Brad Varney]

Is the rego N761SA?
Anthony Albanese would not be happy about the traffic in PHNL. haha

[Shayne G]

Yes Brad N761SA is the rego, it's the only Southern Air 742 leased to MASkargo.

[Stefan Perkas]

Morning all,

Looking at flightradar24 it appears as though there is an extra Emirates Sky Cargo on it way to Sydney this morning.

'Emirates 4968' is call sign and rego is A6-EFD.

Listening to Live ATC I heard 'Cargolux 659' turn up. Rego is LX-YCV

[Tim Bowrey]

EK Skycargo departed not long ago.

Also, Cargolux is closed up almost ready for pushback.

[Jayden Laing]

CX21 due in at 1650. Being operated by their newest machine, B-LJF. Departure to MEL scheduled for 1845.

[Stefan Perkas]

Afternoon all,

Flightradar24 showing 9V-STE as operating SQ241/242 today.

[phil.l]

SQ241/242 will it be an A330 now?

[Shayne G]

Yes Phil, SQ241/242 will be operated by A330's until 24th March 2012. Then it will be back to B772.

[Chen W]

evening all,

good news！

Tomorrow China Eastern 561 will be operated by newest A332 B-6538, which is in 'SKY TEAM' livery.

[Jaryd stock]

Think you will find CES 561 is B-6129.

[Tim Bowrey]

Todays Korean Air Cargo opperated by HL7486 B744BCF. In from Incheon and due out to Xiamen later.

[Tim Bowrey]

This evenings Korean Air charter some ICN opperated by 772 HL7766.

[Arthur T]

Spotted Atlas Jet TC-ETK arriving at about 8.30am yesterday into Tullamarine Airport
Anyone knows where she's from?

[Anthony T]

It's on lease to Air Australia.

.........and what is this Tullamarine station you are on about, do you mean Melbourne Airport?

[Brandon Giacomin]

TC-ETK is being used for BNE and MEL-HKT as VH-SSA is operating the new HNL flights.

[Brian Wilkes]

http://myaviation.net/?pid=02092133

First service to Melbourne on behalf of Air Australia.

[Gerald D]

Extra Qantas flight into and out of Christchurch today.QF6054? & 6003 return using VH-VXR.

[phil.l]

Both Virgin A330's at the ga ,is this a norm?

[Nigel C]

Not unless one goes tech...

[matthew mcdonald]

One would have gone tech as only one of them gets towed off at 11 or 12 until the 565 departure at 5:30pm.

[Grahame Hutchison]

I travelled down and back to Melbourne yesterday on Business and noticed VH-OQL (YSSY) and VH-OQK (YMML) parked out on the aprons.

[Jason H]

Today's QF17 was operated by VH-OJT. I believe this is the first time that a non ER 744 was on this route. The flight doesn't appear to be stopping on the way back either, so will be interesting to see it get off that short runway in EZE.

[Shayne G]

Today's Korean Air KE8121 B772 service is operated by HL7752 which still wears the special "New horizons of Korea" decal.

[NathanJ]

Air China Star Alliance a330 B-6091? parked up in the GA area this afternoon.

[Shayne G]

We had Air North E170 VH-SWO In Sydney this morning so your correct Phil. Aircraft was in and out quickly.

HVN773/HVN772 was also operated by A B772 VN-A145 today.

[Jaryd stock]

You Might already know Shane but HVN have been using 772's for the last week which is always better than seeing a A330....

[Shayne G]

Nope I didn't see it posted anywhere that they had swapped so thought it was still A330s. Still nice to see them back, they are indeed better then the A330s!

[Brad Varney]

anyone know how long VN will be sending the 777's down here?

[lloyd fox]

anyone know how long VN will be sending the 777's down here?

[Tim Bowrey]

Not 100% sure if it has been mentioned anywhere else but VH-OQI on decent into SYD as QF108 rather than the usual 744.

B-LJE opperating this mornings Cathay Cargo service HKG-SYD-MEL-HKG.

[Chen W]

Tomorrow CA173 will be operated by B-6075
MU561 will be operated by B-6100

[Nigel C]

Anyone know when A6-EFD (Emirates Skycargo) is going? It spent most of today parked, then sat at the freight ramp tonight for a while. The light faded and it looked by that time nothing was happening around it...

It's being loaded now for a departure at 0700.

[Jayden Laing]

Another long haul flight to Stewart International Airport, Newburgh, NEW YORK as UAE4962.
