Not, lets not follow the tree huggers, I just thought that the B737-229's were banned from night flights within Europe due to noise.
VH-OZQ is still an aircraft manufactured in 1974, and according to the UK CAA's website, had flown over 61000 hours by the end of last year!!
I assume that these aircraft are Chapter 3 compliant?
Either way, these -200's are old, and bloody noisy if you compare them with later versions of the B737.
Business travellers demand punctuality and serviceability. Surely this will be harder to provide with a 31 year old airframe, when the competition are using newer aircraft.
