Virgin Australia Boeing B737-700 VH-NBP Now Painted and Made its First Visit to Central Queensland at Proserpine (Whitsunday Coast) Airport

On Friday 10 March, recently delivered Virgin Australia Boeing B737-700 VH-NBP made its first visit into Central Queensland since it was painted into the Virgin Australia livery at the Flying Colours facility at Townsville.

On Friday, VH-NBP was noted operating into Proserpine (Whitsunday Coast) Airport from and back to Brisbane as VOZ1117/1118.

UPDATE!   Across the weekend, VH-NBP visited Proserpine Airport two more times, as well as calling into Hamilton Island Airport on Sunday 12 March.

VH-NBP entered the paint-shop in late February and departed Townsville at the start of the week now in full Virgin Australia livery. It has also been named 'Bells Beach'.

This now leaves fellow recently delivered B737-700 VH-NHW the only remaining aircraft in an all-white colour scheme with the other recent former KLM Royal Dutch Airlines aircraft delivered in the full Virgin Australia livery.

Finally, of interest, the next former KLM Royal Dutch Airlines Boeing B737-700 ex-PH-BGX has landed at Singapore (Seletar) Airport. It has been registered 2-HBGX and is believed to be in the full Virgin Australia livery.

UPDATE!  On Wednesday 29 March, 2-HBGX, now re-registered VH-NQI, was delivered to Virgin Australia at Brisbane Airport after the aircraft ferried from Seletar as VOZ9948.
