Virgin Australia

My last post for today is of a Virgin Australia Airlines Boeing 737-8FE, VH-YIM.

Some of you will have heard that Virgin Australia is in the process of transferring all of their NZ registered aircraft to the Australian register and AOC. I'm not sure that this is one of them, as this aircraft has been on the Australian registered since 2012, and so it appears that they are using the flexibility of the re-registrations to use other aircraft in their fleet to service the trans-Tasman routes.

If anyone has different info, I'd be glad to hear it.

Anyway, here it is landing in the rain then departing in the dry:

    Hi Rodney,
    VH-YIM is one of the newer short field performance Boeing 737-800s now being used on the VAI AOC, fitted with business class. 5 of the old ZK registered machines have been retained and reregistered VU & VO series, with the rest being relegated to Australian domestic duties.
