VIA BNE but no it will be gone to another carrier.

VA announce daily SYD-HKG in A330. Good flight timings.

... to the detriment of MEL-HKG schedule.

VA89 departs SYD at 10:00 and VA 88 arrives at 7:10 from mid 2018. Gotta love the eights in the inbound flight number.

I'm not sure what bays will be available for three hours at peak times in Sydney. Maybe park at the freight apron and get bussed to the aircraft, just like China Eastern this morning!

Does anyone know the actual start date, apart from mid 2018?

Yep, due to slot availability, with Wednesday and Friday departures gone from the MEL-HKG schedule.

July 2nd has been mentioned.

Are the two Tigers VNQ and VNJ both exited the fleet? Been in Manila for 6 weeks.

VNQ is not that old didn’t think would warrant a D check just yet.

There was word another forum that two tiger 320's were heading to VARA. Most likely mumbo jumbo but interesting if true.

According to p prune VA "might" be getting 330's from Etihad?????

I’ll believe it when I see it. Also heard FJ are getting their next 332 from Etihad.

I think VARA are getting an additional A320 soon.
