VA has around 6 a/c registered that haven't flown/built yet.

Does anyone known why ?

Have they delayed orders ?

They have been registered because they will all be delivered new to the airline over the coming months.

Unlike Airbus, Boeing often puts the customer's own registration on the aircraft when it's built, so Aussie-destined aircraft will carry the same VH-xxx right through testing etc as they will while they're in service Down Under.

Interesting how when doing a search for ATR flights on the VA website the airline operating now comes up with 'Virgin Australia Regional Airlines'.

Skywest name is gone, official name now is Virgin Australia Regional Airlnes. They will however continue to use XR flight numbers in the west in the short term.

They could have added Link to the end like what AIR NZ and Qantas does.

Are the A320s owned or leased? If leased, I'm seeing their ops being taken up by B737s when their leases expire.
