Texel Air 737-800
 

Texel Air have taken delivery of the former OK-SBK and is in CAN awaiting conversion

Who is Texel Air?

New operator who recently received an AOC to operate in NZ competing against Airwork, have one 800 already operating, ZK-TXE https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/business/...in-new-zealand

They will be flying Trans Tasman also as they get more planes.

Ah ok, very interesting.

Reported in one of the other forums that they are taking VP-CJA (former VH-VOQ)
I note that it has positioned from CGK to ASP via DRW, is that into storage? or another reason to visit ASP?

There was a comment on FB that it was being stored at APAS… I’m not sure how true that is though?

Mm ok, would make sense .. not sure it would bother transiting ASP otherwise.

Just read on another aviation site that Texel Air Australasia is their new name

www.texelair.co.nz

Also they will have a fleet of 3 aircraft soon with a 737-300F and a 737-700FC
which is combi .This will be the first of type in our region.

I guess the 733F will transit BNE and the 700 probably via CNS when these 2 get delivered to AKL.

I guess SYD will see this airline soon and perhaps MEL and BNE down the track.

Lloyd, they started NZ ops with a 733 A9C-APC “Samantha” and I don’t think it left when the 737-800 took over, bit hard to tell as she’s blocked.

APC is back in Bahrain, left NZ on the 20th of Jul.

Ignore.

Nice!

Texel have taken over the Air Nauru operated Toll flights

Texel Just about to depart BNE for SYD as TFX201 It's first scheduled flight.

An ex-VA Boeing 737-8FE VH-VOQ/33798 was added to the ZK-Reg as ZK-TXC on 19 Dec 2023 for Texel. It is in Hamilton NZ undergoing maintenance

As mentioned in post 6

Appears ZK-TXC has opened its account, having flown HLZ AKL yesterday (25JAN24)

May of been a positioning/test flight based on the non-direct flight.

ZK-TXC arrived BNE yesterday arvo from TSV after repaint into Team Global Express livery.

It should be based in BNE from what i am hearing.:)

I will chase a pic on Sunday.

It has the 2 tone green tail and Team Global Express titles on the fuselage along with their logo .

Looks good, not sure about the "Zorro" mask effect around the cockpit.

Also named "Elfriede"

2-DGMI is marked as coming for Texel to join the Toll fleet after conversion to cargo last month and stored at YLW since March 10.
N736CE is also due to join Texel, I noted her at CAN two weeks ago being converted at Gameco

Should also be one more on the way I believe. I think they said they will have 5 for the take over of the TGE flying.
