9th March 2016 - VH-ZPD Leaves Nashville Maintenance, Positions to Roswell.
Embraer 190 VH-ZPD departed the Nashville maintenance facility this morning and positioned Nashville - Roswell as VA9904.

Stored, Roswell ?

It's at Roswell for painting as there are no paint facilities in Nashville. It will reposition back to Nashville in 7-10 days.

Has the new owners been announced as yet ?

Was mexico - now middle east airline.

ch-aviation announced on 11/03/2016 that

Atrak Air (AK, Tehran Mehrabad) has acquired six Embraer Regional Jets and three A320ceo airline sources have told the Aviation Iran magazine. The three Airbus Industrie (AIB, Toulouse Blagnac) twinjets will reportedly deliver in June of this year, adding to the carrier's existing fleet of three A320-200s (only one of which is currently operational).

All five have apparently been purchased by a lease company. Current information suggests ZPD will be heading to the Middle East and ZPG to Mexico. Until the aircraft are painted and delivered, nothing is confirmed.

Hi,

VA 738 VH-YFW appeared on the CASA aircraft register a couple of weeks ago.

However VH-YFW is no longer on the register...

Regards,

Steve

Steve,

Good catch, if it has been deleted then it occurred after the 11/03.

It might appear in next weeks deletions as ntu.

YFW was deleted from the Register on 02/03.

11.130 - Cancelled - Registration Holder Request - Exported to United States of America

ie NTU

21st March 2016 - VH-ZPD Positions Back to Nashville.
Embraer 190 VH-ZPD, which positioned from maintenance at Nashville to Roswell on 9th March for further attention, positioned Roswell - Nashville this afternoon as VA9903.

Any spies at Nashville to check the livery ?

I still see YFW in the register. Are you sure it's gone?

Yes it is now back on the register.

But it was gone/deleted for a while there.

I just searched for VH-YFY out of interest. It brought up VH-YFI !! Go figure.

I know it rhymes but geez.

Beats Me !!

It was definitely not on the register last week. Search failed.

I saw a deletion record for the 02/03 but it did not appear in this weeks deletions.

I've just checked and the register date shows 18/02.

Maybe someone at CASA started their Easter festivities early ?

VH-ZPD has also done a pre-delivery (to new owners) flight today, KBNA - KBNA.

I've seen a photo of VH-ZPD in it's new livery and it should be on it's way to it's new operator soon (if not already).

30th March 2016 - VH-ZPF Positions to Nashville Maintenance.
Embraer 190 VH-ZPF positioned Brisbane - Apia as VA9901 this morning and will continue Apia - Honolulu - Van Nuys - Nashville for maintenance

Will it be coming back ?

I might have missed this, but what livery was ZPD painted in?

ZPF is apparently gone for good. Farewell Maiden Brazil!

ZPD's new home is to the East of the USA (the operator has a very small Ejet fleet).

ZPF arrives is Nashiville Friday (US time). ZPG should depart Nashville within the next 2-4 days for it's repaint in Roswell and return to Nashville about a week later. ZPF will also head to Roswell in about 4 weeks for it's repaint.

lol how far east of the USA!?!?

If it went in s straight line from Nashville, it's new home would be about 11-12 hours away.

ZPG is now in Roswell for it's repaint and ZPF is in Nashville.

Air Costa (India), Kenya Airways & Egyptair would be my best guesses...

Close with your third choice.

Royal Jordanian?

No, but very close.

Arkia? Saudi Arabian? Gulf Air? Oman Air?

Anadolu Jet, Borajet, FlyNas?

It's one of the Airlines Rowan has listed and they already have a very small fleet of Ejets's (that should give it away).

Sounds like top secret stuff! I'm on the edge of my seat!

planespotters.net lists ZPD as going to aeromexico?

All the ones I mentioned have EJets, Rob! lol you're good at keeping a secret, I'll give you that! ;)

It's not going to Aeromexico, G and F might go there. The airline it's joining do not operate E170/E175's, so that should help.

Haha it does, yeah ;)

ZPD for Arkia-Israeli Airlines.

Or is it ZPG for Arkia......

Arkia is the Middle East airline with two E190's.

Steve got it.

ZPG's future is unknown at this stage, but early indications are it will go to Aeromexico.

All 5 aircraft have been purchased by a lease company, they could end up anywhere.
