Good news, Boeing workers have returned to work, so they will be able to ramp up production unless the FAA finds more problems

REX got MEL-BNE planned for it's first VA flight followed by a couple Canberra returns

Boeing is currently limited to producing 38 MAX aircraft a month by the FAA but haven't been building close to that since around 2019, though that restriction could change or be removed entirely next year.

Qatar are looking at converting their 10s to 8s on order and then handing them to VA etc to lease

Interesting that they wouldn’t just give VA the Air Italy ones, but I guess they have a narrowbody market of their own to serve.

RQP is due out tomorrow from WGA at 9am. I’ll miss it again, working at that time.

VH-VUT due in BNE later today on return from Maintenance in XSP

Mistake, it is VUL on the way. But VUT has been in AUH in maintenance and was due to leave XSP at 08.30 today but has not moved yet.

REX still hasn’t done its first revenue service with VA yet.

Looks to be loaded into the schedule now, due to operate VA309 MEL BNE tomorrow (24DEC)
