REX 737 fleet disposal thread

[Robert.M]

Looks like it will remain in MEL overnight. Heard it was a fuel pump issue.

[Ayden H]

I have a hunch that 8ZL will be going to Smartwings.

[Tristan S]

RQC has left MEL to NAN.

[Stuart McCarthy]

RQC has arrived at Marana

[Greg Hyde]

RQC was deleted from the VH-Reg on 13/11/24 as Exported to - Guernsey

[Lauren J]

Now confirmed that REX and RQP will enter service with VA under their current registrations.

VH-REX flight planned CGK-MEL as VOZ9944 eta MEL approx 2330 tonight. Subject to change.

[Greg Hyde]

Do we know if VH-REX has had a repaint ?

[Ayden H]

2-VHZL (ex VH-8ZL) is now stored at Saltillo in Mexico since 12/11/24. I believe it is getting converted to a freighter for Aeronaves TSM (a Mexican cargo airline whose main base is at Saltillo) by AEI leased from ACS, the same lessor for some of the other ex ZL planes.

[Stirling D]

2012 build feels quite young for a freighter.

Doesn’t look like anyone does conversions there either. It looks like there is a MRO for checks / painting. Not conversions.
