on Sunday Air China will send down 777-300ER B-2032 which is in the Star Alliance livery on CCA173/CCA174.

Subject to change though unlikely.

Evening all,

MU739/740 tomorrow is being operated by A330-300 B-6126 which is wearing orange/red "People's Daily" livery. This is its 2nd visit to Sydney in this livery, its 1st visit was on Tuesday operating the same flight.

Here is a photo of the livery: http://www.jetphotos.net/viewphoto.php?id=7508233&nseq=1

Stefan,it might be its 2nd visit this year as its been in at least 1 time before around July last year i think in this livery.

[Brian Wilkes]

Correct Paul, it was it's first service after being re-painted in the special livery!

[Stefan Perkas]

Paul,

I realised after I posted that it had visited in this livery last July. My apologies..

[Shayne G]

Air China 777-300ER B-2035 in Smiling China livery will be in Sydney on Monday.


As usual, subject to change

Afternoon all,

CA173/174 tomorrow is scheduled to be operated by B777-300ER B-2036. This will be its 1st visit. http://flightaware.com/live/flight/B2036/history/20130114/0925Z/ZBAA/YSSY

Wednesday's flight should be operated by B777-300ER B-2033, this will also be its 1st visit. This is based on the theory that what operates CA933 from Beijing to Paris today, arrives as CA173 into Sydney 2 days later. This theory has been 99% accurate so far. Only once has their been an aircraft swap.

Typo in there somewhere?

[Stefan Perkas]

Yes, my bad. All fixed now.

Solomon Airlines A320 H4-BUS is operating for Air Vanuatu tomorrow, arriving after 0600 and out after 0800 to Brisbane.

It looks like Air Vanuatu are now using Alliance Fokker 100 VH-FWI. She operated AVN8021/8020 from BNE-VLI-BNE today and it now en-route to Sydney as AVN8020. Due in at 2238.

Morning all,

Air Pacific 737-700 DQ-FJF is operating FJ911/910 today.


I am pretty sure Air Pacific have not sent their 737-700 to Sydney in a long time.

[NathanJ]

EK434 & JQ12 have diverted to Sydney.

[Hendra Barnes]

Shame the weather is quite poor in Sydney as well.
Was hoping to plan a day of spotting/photographing whilst it is public holiday. :p

[NathanJ]

Runway 7 is going off today!

[Andrew Coggan]

Anyone still chasing Air China's 'Smiling China' its coming in tomorrow as CA173 although I don't think the weather will favour taking photos.:p

[Peter S.]

QF107/108 26/JAN has been operated by VH-OJD [no premium economy], formerly the aircraft allocated to the SYD-PER-SYD service.

I believe it is beng allocated to JNB trips as well, being used as a fill in aircraft now.
