Vincent Aviation to expand with Boeing
I found out today that Vincent Aviation are in the process of buying outright a B737-200Adv from the US. Peter Vincent is apparently going to look at ex-Delta machines.
The Adv (or advanced) series of 732's is basically the 733 cockpit on the older fuselage.
They have also apparently bought two ex-Origin Jetstream 32's that are currently in Nelson. And to top it off, with this they are taking over the Air National Hangar at Wellington, as they are consolodating operations at Auckland.
Looks like Vincent will be running more ANZ Link services maybe?
Good times!

Pretty big call for a 1st time post.........
Where did that nonsense come from? My sources said same thing, but not 732's, more likely 2 ex Oasis 744's....But then again, it is only a rumour network
Pigs will fly before that happens.

Hiya Ravan old mate,
Yeh, all interesting times, but I think this one is pie in the sky. Personally, a couple of 787 Dreamliners would be better
How goes it in your neck of the woods? I heard Miss J in the stump (TWR) is no longer a Miss
Shall catch you on Skype later perhaps; G'day to Mrs Ravan

The Adv (or advanced) series of 732's is basically the 733 cockpit on the older fuselage.
ADV means that the aircraft has the advanced wing which is a different profile to the Basic wing (NACs first aircraft were basics and ZK-NAM was the first aircraft with the ADV wing). The Air NZ 219 series B732 aircraft NAT thru NAY were the last block of 200 aircraft built.
ZK-NQC is a B737-219QC ADV
Unless the aircraft have hush kits they will not meet NZ noise rules and cannot be entered on the register.
Unless they have dual ADC they cannot meet RVSM in NZ AUS FIR so will not be allowed above FL290 on a regular basis.
Unless they have dual GPS they cannot meet RNP for flying the pond.

In fact the press may use it, or the unscrupulous, or sciolists*, to elicit certain reactions.
*"sciolist"... Noun, archaic. "a person who pretends to be knowledgeable and well informed".

I'm not one to gossip but ... I work at Moa Point sewerage plant with a friend of someone who knows someone who's a cleaner at Wellington airport who said she'd heard from her cousin that Vincent were getting two of the ex Air France Concordes to operate a new service to Invercargill. Apparently the Q300's are just a little bit slow

Peter Vincent is wheeler and dealer, and if their is a quid in it for him he will go and buy a B737. Just look at when he started up in Darwin, some of our ace local operators including High altitude were going to run him out of town or send him broke, but I noticed the other day he is still in Darwin.

Children, as I said Peter Vincent is a wheeler and dealer and if he can make a quid with an aeroplane he will go an operate it.
He has been in the business for a long time and is backed up with some very experienced people.
He certainly upset a few operators in Darwin when he started up operations, including Stefan "High Altitude" from Northern Air Charter etc.
