[Q4NVS]

Very Nice...
Pity the stuffed up the painting of the registration - why so skew?

[Springbok614]

yeah, it looks a bit scew, but probably just temporary as that is Brazilian reg and 5N-xxx will be Nigerian. :ok:

[atedo]

Yes the correct reg is shown at Nose wheel 5N-VNH.

[eurocontrol]

the 5N- reg is the one taped out above the windows, above the brazillian one

EC

[babybuttom]

um...i think askew's the word....
lovely...i'v always fancied the vk colors.

[Shunanny]

Askew, Askance?:confused:

Damn, SHE looks good:eek:

[diablo_caliente]

Is uncle Richard still involved with V.Nigeria?

[Revnetwork]

The Virgin Group is still involved and will remain for the foreseeable future

[Numero Uno]

Well, well, well... this guys are here to stay... they seem to mean business now.

Thank God for them, maybe Nigerian Aviation would have been in the jungles by now.

Can't wait to see that bird in MMIA:D:D

[Tiburon peligroso]

Anybody know where the training will take place?

[jammydonut]

I thought Uncle Richard had it in mind to buy his own oil refinery in Nigeria so he could supply his own fuel at cost.

[diablo_caliente]

I will pass on the idea to Uncle Richard!

[Mr. Smith]

Tiburon peligroso, what training are you refering to? Pilot, crew, etc? Pilots if I'm not mistaken are in Florida training.

[sorelr]

ERJ training was in Switzerland and Canada, the last 737 guys went to Miami. :ok:

[Klogic]

There is a Second batch at Oxford -Gatwick at the moment doing the sim training.

[Tiburon peligroso]

Yes Mr Smith, was refering to tech crew..But quest already answered..thanks.

[atedo]

Branson and fuel at cost?

VK has changed the face of aviation in this corruption ridden country.

I hope the authorities xpecially NCAA will learn from VK on keeping standards:ugh::ugh:.

If VK leave Naija, the country is the one loosing. We go back to our confusion again.

The coutry aviation have been highly improved with the entrance of Vk; no denying this.

[diablo_caliente]

Does anybody actually know how many 190's VK we finally receive and over what period of time?

[surely not]

Does anybody actually know how many 190's VK we finally receive and over what period of time?


Yup, but I can't tell you......................:} :E :ok:

[Rani]

surely not, y not? :)

To the best of my knowledge, VK has expedited delivery of the ERJ's. 4 will be delivered this year, with the rest (6) gradually following next year.

[Revnetwork]

Rani,
As far as I know (what do I know?) there will only be 2 deliveries this year (both 190's) and then next year, the 170's. VK might then add 195's after that.

[Frangible]

Regarding "uncle Richard" I read something in August that said Virgin Atlantic was selling 47 per cent of its 49 per cent stake in VK, having lost the battle to operate domestic flights out of the MMA international terminal.

[akounamatata]

i do understand that dapo(ex aero) is moving to virgin has chief commercial officer,that's good for virgin,he 's a good piece.:)
and knowing dapo 'he would waist no time to get to the top seat.....
he's a good listener and a smooth talker.
virgin boy's your in good hand's;)

[18left]

Hmm so DAP will not be wearing a uniform in VK?
So sure the banking thinghy would not last.

Great guy,would surely bring some exciting ideas to commercial dept at VK

[Rani]

When will the ERJ-190 5N-VNH actually enter service?

[atedo]

vk is clearing many doubts?:ugh:

[Revnetwork]

5N-VNH should be in LOS this pm. Considering that it takes the NCAA some time to get through the paperwork, I would think it should be in service in about a weeks time.

[Rani]

Thanks Revnetwork. What about the A330 plans, are they shelved for now? The 767-300s are aweful.

[diablo_caliente]

Did the boys arrive on time with the first 190? Hope they had a great trip. Any further news of the VK plans?

[diablo_caliente]

Hi all
any further news with the E190? Crews etc?
