“new” QF B737-800s

[markis10]

I've seen it reported in different places as a lease and purchase, so who knows.

Lease conpanies are required to be on the registration XZQ has Qantas as owner and operator

Conceptually, although initial registrations for ferry flights don't typically include this and are updated later. The web version rarely includes later updates unfortunately (just go and look at the details for QF's A330s!!!) For example, X3P which has come over from Jetstar Asia is leased from Itochu and is not showing on CASA as leased.

Second 'new' 737 now in Australia

Recently registered VH-XZR (ex 9V-MGL), former SQ 737 flew into ASP on Tue 7 Oct.
9V-MGM also seems to have been withdrawn from SQ service with MGN the only 737NG still operating for SQ.

Like XZQ, online CASA registration shows QAL, noting evanb's comments however.
