Sad to see FNT go, I was lucky enough to see FNT late last year.

Ex. VH-VOY

Boeing 737 -8FE 33996 1551 LY-DUE GetJet Airlines ferried 15-16jan24 MGA-YYZ-KEF-VNO after Cuba-flights by Aruba Airlines ex 2-VVOY

ATR-72 VH-FVN/1039 which was ferried to Asia in June 2023 has finally been deleted from the VH-Reg on 19/03/2024 as exported to Myanmar

VH-FVP did a test flight in Cairns last weekend, the last ATR might finally be headed to a new lease customer, the lease company indicated it would be pacific based but delivery is now 6 odd months late so maybe that’s lapsed

How soon we forget:

Boeing 737 -8FE(F) 33997 1559 N799WS World Star Aviation ferried 13-15apr24 CAN-NMA-BEG-EGBP (+ 34014/1582 N340WS ex 2-VVUC) ex 2-VVUA

Planespotters.net noted they were headed to Spicejet however the pictures here:

It looks like the Spicejet livery has been painted over so I am wondering if that has fallen through and they are going to EGBP (Cotswold) for storage.

I am sure it will be snapped up pretty quickly. Who knows it could end up back in Oz under Texal or ASL

A pair of Ex Virgin Australia 737s arrive at Cotswold Airport / Kemble on a windy Monday lunchtime.

FVP is performing another test flight over CNS this morning

FVP has joined the fleet in PNG as P2-ATZ delivery yesterday

For those who can't read between the lines FVP has gone to PNG Air

Deleted from the VH-reg on 23/04/24 as exported to PNG

Just read that N340WS/ex.VH-VUC & N799WS/ex.VH-VUA will be broken up at Cotswold by ASI.

Hard to believe as they are only 20yrs old.

Wow!
I guess they were converted at a time when capacity was needed, and this need has reduced...

Where did you read that?

That is…odd to say the least, both are fully converted to a freighters

RQG went to ASP recently and it was a 2005 build.

Also, I have heard that spares are problem, with a large number trashed due to their authenticity (counterfeit parts).

Spares are a huge problem with the B737NG fleet at the moment, all airlines are struggling to get parts, especially engines.
