Virgin Blue

Boosting SYD-MCY (extra daily, twice extra on SAT)

Also going (back to) 4 daily SYD-PER.

PER-SYD 0600-1210
SYD-MCY 1300-1435
MCY-SYD 1505-1640
SYD-PER 1730-2035

Is this a 737 or an E190?

Would be a 737 those are quite long hops.

CBR-BNE transitioning (gradual progression) from 3x737s to 4xE190 per day too. Also middle of the day CBR-MEL becomes E190.

Anyone here in the know about the rollout of the E190s and what routes they'll be doing?

I notice extra BNE-AKL flights to coincide with the extra BNE-VLI and BNE-NAN

BNE-AKL appears to increase from 6 to 10 a week.

In regards to Pacific Blue and Solomons route they decided not to take it up presently.

BNE-CBR actually goes to 5 a day from next week.BNE-ROK also increases from 3 to 4 a day

Hi,

Pacific Blue must be adding a 7th 737-800 to the fleet because their current 6are pretty much fully utilised. Would it be VH-VUH that was repainted a few months back (at the same time as VH-VUB & VH-VUD but they already transferred from DJ to PB).

Regards,

Steve S.

Lloyd - BNE-CBR goes to 5 a day (3x737, 2xE190) as part of the progression to E190s but you'll find that in a month or so it settles back to 4x daily, all E190.

This may of course change - schedules seem to be changing every 2 weeks or so on average as the new planes get integrated into the fleet.

Also noticed additional weekend MEL-HBA and LST services for May and June. E190 or 737?

BNE-WLG appears to go from 3 to 5 a week .

Pacific Blue have increased BNE flights to 36 departures a week and BNE appears a real success story for this carrier .

More DJ changes
 

New batches of schedules have been loaded for DJ. New services effective 22/7 and 22/8. Mainly CBR and HBA. MEL-CBR up to 6 daily (1 x EMJ, 5 x 737), MEL-HBA up to 7 or 8 daily (1 x EMJ, 6 or 7 x 737). Probably other routes as well. All changing very quickly at the moment.
