Whats a new year without a new Emirates B777...

It should make its way to BNE, SYD and PER in the non to distant future.

Is named Daylesford.

Did anyone catch the name of newly delivered VH-YIF?

Todays' print copy SMH Business section has a small article which I cannot find online:

Skywest takes off

"Skywest Airlines says it has taken delivery of its fifth new ATR72-500 plane, with the sixth to come within weeks.
The plane will operate under the Australian Regional Airline Network arrangement with Virgin Australia.
A so-called wet lease agreement leases aircraft and crew to Virgin Australia."

From Skyliner:

ATR 72 -212A 978 OY-CJU NAC Aviation delivery 27jan12 TLS-LEY, all wh, for paint into Virgin Australia cs ex F-WWEW

[Peter Agatsiotis]

According to another source, the 5th & 6th ATR will become VH-FVU and VH-FVZ.

VH-VZX is currently 150nm NE of Sydney en route to Melbourne. Looks like it will route overhead YSSY.
