Our Airline B737-300 VH-NLK at Gladstone Airport on FIFO - Plus B737-300F VH-VLI Arrives at Brisbane - And a Name Change!

Local plane spotter Anthony S ventured to Gladstone Airport early on Wednesday 23 July to capture the departure of Our Airline (Air Nauru) Boeing B737-300 VH-NLK as RON915 to Brisbane completing another Fly-in Fly-out (FIFO) rotation.

It arrived at Gladstone the previous evening on Monday 22 July as RON914.

It's worth highlighting that also on Tuesday 23 July, Our Airline received Boeing B737-3H6(SF) Freighter VH-VLI in Brisbane after the aircraft had spent some time in storage in Malaysia.  Information suggests that VH-VLI will undergo some pre-service maintenance in Brisbane before entering service.

Eagle-eyed readers will also note that in Brisbane spotter Lloyd F's photo, VH-VLI wears "Nauru Airlines" titles.  It has been reported that Our Airline will be re-branding to Nauru Airlines from Friday 1 August.

It is assumed that their fleet of B737-300 passenger aircraft - VH-NLK, VH-INU and VH-PNI - will all have these new titles applied in the coming weeks.

Something else for Gladstone plane spotters to look out for!

Thanks Anthony and Lloyd for sharing these great images!
