From Airbus Deliveries ...

VH-YIR
 

Morning All,

Virgin Australia Boeing 737-800 VH-YIR has started its delivery flight to Australia as VBH9882


Dom, :)

Seems that YIR is spending 19 odd hours on the ground in Hawaii. This seems to be a rather long time. Is it normal?

Appears to be only spending a couple hours at Nadi, which sounds about right.

Cheers

Not an expert but I'd imagine one crew probably takes the aircraft right through to NAN where another crew would take over? And probably the second crew would've ferried in from Oz in time to do so?

The crew overnight in Hawaii then operate through to BNE in one day.

Evening all,

Cathay Pacific has taken delivery of Airbus 330-300 B-LAP today. Should become a regular visitor to Australia.
