Virgin Blue 737s

How many 737s for Virgin are getting around without Live 2 Air. I saw on today a Pacific Blue liveried one at CBR.

Also is there any more on order. If so when can we expect the next one?

As far as I know VH-VOX (Pacific Blue Colours) is the only Australian DJ 737 without Live2Air. One of the brand new 737's either VUO or VUP also didn't have Live2Air but I believe that aircraft has since been transferred to Pacific Blue (the proper NZ operation not just in PB colours). 737-700 also lacked Live2Air but that aircraft has recently left the fleet.

Evening all,

I think VH-VUQ is without Live to air as this aircraft was ZK-PB? But has recently been transfered to Pacific Blue Australia as VUQ.

It was VU something. I do remember reading something about VUO or VUP been repainted though.

Zac,

VUO was delivered to Virgin Blue in Virgin Colours and was in serice with DJ but then got repainted in Melbourne to Pacific Blue colours and re-registered to ZK-PBM. VUP on the other hand got deleivered in full PB colours and VH-VUP but I think never went into full service with DJ and got re-reg'd as ZK-PBL (Not 100% sure on reg).

VH-VOX, VH-VBU have no live 2 air VH-VUQ on the other hand has TV screens in PE but not for the rest of the aircraft.

VUP was delivered in full Virgin Blue livery. It never went into service and was repainted in Pacific Blue livery before being delivered to them.

Anyways back to the original topic....
VOX and VUQ I believe are now the only two 737's without Live2Air. All E-jets are also not fitted.
