Velvet air b737-b310

Yesterday at aprox 11.15am we saw a VELVET 737-200 getting airborne from FAJS.

The strange thing was its callsign- BRAVO 310???

To my knowledge this is often call signs used for the SADF/??

Any body know what our low cost carrier was doing yesterday on that call sighn?

Some confusion possibly?

Velvet's scheduled Cape Town flight was airborne at 10.32 am yesterday using call sign Velvet 310. It was definitely a Boeing 737-300. Velvet has no -200's

My mistake it must have been a B737-300, Perhaps there was just a glitch in there flight plan , and thats why it was flying as BRAVO 310.

Thanks for the help.

Isn't it their next aircraft maybe doing tests? They should be preparing a new aircraft soon, becuase they've just released increased frequency schedules to commence from 9 August.

There's no way ATNS would allow an airline to just change their CALLSIGN, CALCULATOR. YOU probably heard wrong.
