VZU is in BNE maintenance since December 17, quite possible that both it and VZT will emerge with them

Thanks, I wasn't sure as VZU's last listed flight is a cancelled SYD-BNE leg, so I assumed it was still in Sydney.

Just had a look at the Network Fokker fleet and was surprised to see how many they had left

NHA, NHF, NHG, NHI, NHJ, NHK, NHM, NHN, NHO, NHP, NHV, NHY, NHZ, NQE, NPU Active (Flown recently)
NHQ XSP (Maint?)
NQZ Spares

I see more A319s & A320 (from JQ) in the future.

VH-NXL will depart Canberra for Victorville tomorrow morning.

NXG has been parked at the far end of the airport at Canberra for the last two weeks, I would assume that once NXL departs it will be towed over and preparations will begin for its ferry to VCV

[Greg Hyde]

NXL has finally departed Canberra for Apia this morning as SXI2411 after a couple of false starts (scheduled but not flown)

VZT is on its way back to AU from HK after having completed its maintenance checks. Be interesting if the Split Scimitar Winglets have been installed? VZU can't be far away either from returning to service.

[Zac M]

VZT no splits and no repaint.

Not mentioned here either but VXB recently had a check in HKG and lost the Yananyi Dreaming decal and also the Yananyi name

[Tristan S]

The winglet work will be done in Brisbane

"The installation will begin in December 2023 at our maintenance base in Brisbane, Queensland and is expected to be completed by the end of 2026."

NXL has completed her ferry to VCV.

VZU is the first to appear with splits.
