Looks like Virgin have cancelled all flights scheduled to/from the Gold Coast (OOL) between 12pm Thursday 6 March and 12pm Friday 7 March.

All flights to/from Ballina have been cancelled for Wednesday 5 March and Thursday 6 March.

Those three date back to 2007, so they're not significantly older. But they have the older style overhead lockers and panels so they definitely feel old.

A5A currently operating Cairns to Denpasar.

VARA don't have 737-700s. They are all operated by VA mainline.

The A220 seats are the Recaro R2 model which are used on the 737 by a few airlines. Southwest just switched to the Recaro R2 seats for their new builds and Alaska are retrofitting their 737-800 aircraft with R2 seats.

It operated at a reduced frequency (4 or 5 weekly) at various times throughout 2024 but returned to daily from the beginning of November until the route ended. I think the frequency is part (of many) problems with the route. They had to utilise the Haneda slot 80% of the time or risk losing...

The latest 737-800 to join the fleet VH-IJR has departed Seletar bound for Brisbane. Should be in the 182 seat configuration.

Arrivals are staying in T2. Pelican also moving.

I'm not at all disputing that this is good news for VA but you did selectively pull parts of the report which misrepresented what the data actually said. You raised interesting points but the context is important, hence why I clarified what the report actually said. Nowhere did I say that Qantas...
