Virgin in Singapore (VA9942 Fokker 100 at Seletar)

[davidj]

Interesting to see VA in Singapore this morning, as a Fokker.

Charter flight I presume, although yesterday's flight seemed to be a joyflight...

On the way to PHE now, which would be one of few ports in AU it could reach from XSP?

VA/VARA/Tiger do all the major engineering there.

More likely up there for maintenance, and a test flight following maintenance.

Probably maintenance carried out there and a test flight.

Interesting that maintenance could be done in Singapore. Do they send 737s there too?

I presume the little Fokker was there for over 7 days as I can't see its history before that.

VA used to send at least some of their 737 to CHC for maintenance. With the NZ divorce, maybe they go elsewhere now...

777 and 737 go to CHC.

There was a recent breakdown in relationship between VA and Singapore Engineering in regards to the below standard Tiger 737 maintenance so not sure if the contract was torn up or still active.

A330 correct me if wrong but fairly certain heavy work was being done in HKG.

What is the range though, if that F100 was a rev flight, PER - DPS - SIN?
OR PER - CGK - SIN?
It probably went up there empty, so maybe could have flown non stop, PER - SIN?

Noticed this just now...
