VB/PB livery rebranding starts.

[Michael Dawson]

All YI series aircraft are configured for international ops. VUY, VUZ, VOX, VOQ, VUF, VUG are also VH registered aircraft for international ops. VUY & VOX can be used for NZ operations as VOX is the old ZK-PBC. You will find the difference is that most of these aircraft will have stowage mid cabin in the roof for Life Rafts as do all the ZK registered aircraft. I would imagine the YI series gives the flexibility to use them for NZ ops if required.

Cheers

Michael
