VH-ZHA (E170) was also seen at the JH hangers yesterday with engines all taped up like it's being ready for long term storage!

Both ZHA and ZHF have disappeared from the daily running sheets, with the current operational 170 fleet only showing 4 aircraft.

Hi Rob,
You might be able to confirm this but I beleive ZHA finished service over the weekend and ZHB will be next. I think ZHF is staying until later in the year and will be the last one to go.

Looks like ZHF was off line for some maintenance as it's back flying today. Does look like ZHA last line flight was on the weekend as it's still showing blank for any flying.

I did warn everyone a few weeks back the 170's were leaving sooner rather than later.

DJ 803 the 6am flight from Mel to Syd has normally been a E170 but Tuesday was 737 - 800 and it was full. Hope the Embraers make a come back as at least once a month we have to catch this early flight and i do like the Embraers. Commented on this on boarding to the ground staff - he agreed they have a nice "vibe" as he put it.

John,

You will see the Ejets on the Mel -Syd routes over the next few months, it could be a 170 or 190.

Here's a short clip of VUZ getting painted in her GC Suns decals.

Can confirm ZHA will no longer fly for VB in commercial service

Departs April 7 for the USA.

Forgot to add VOA left a few weeks back, VOC last week and VBA/VBB in the next two weeks.

All going to WMSA in Malaysia then onto their lessors.

YFC due early April after getting some mods in Tucson I'm told.

Hi...

So am I correct to say that VOA, VOB, VOC & VOD are the only 738's leaving the fleet?

Which of the 737-700's are to leave the fleet besides VBA, VBB, VBQ, VBR & VBS... pls?

Thanks and regards,

Steve S.
