February 2013 - New Deliveries / First Flights etc

[Rory Delaney]

Brock, JA08JJ for Jetstar Japan also has the sharklets. We might be getting confused with that as well. It had it's first flight on the 31st of January this year.

Evening all,

Malaysia Airlines A330-300 9M-MTK is currently on its delivery flight to Kuala Lumpur. This will no doubt visit aussie ports real soon.

Wasn't there a Q400 delivered to CBR as well in the last couple of weeks??

VH-LQH is currently in CNS

[Zac M]

Just found out by coincidence whilst browsing the web that LQH is not new, it is actually the frame built directly before LQJ and it has been in service with Jazz Air (Canada) until last month.

Australian Aviation reported that there was a Q400 on the production line for Qflink with the production number of 4431, so far 4430 is the most recent delivered so you could possibly expect another one in the next few weeks.

Hi,

The CASA website shows VH-LQH as being msn 4431.

The planespotters website shows msn 4413 as being active with Jazz Air.

Hi,

It appears (CASA website) that the next A330-200 for Virgin Australia msn 1407 will be registered as VH-XFG.
