Nauru Airlines Boeing B737-700 VH-INU First Visit to CQ at Rockhampton Airport Operating for Bonza Airline - Plus More! - UPDATED!

On Monday 27 November, the bright and colourful Nauru Airlines Boeing B737-79L VH-INU made its first visit into Central Queensland operating a Regular Passenger Transport (RPT) flight for Bonza Airline in and out of Rockhampton Airport.



VH-INU flew down from Townsville (pictured) to Rockhampton Airport as RON927 (BNZ927) and then returned to Townsville as RON928 (BNZ928).

VH-INU is one of the Nauru Airlines fleet that Bonza are currently flying due to their two newest aircraft - Boeing B737-8 MAX aircraft C-FLKC and C-FLHI - not being able to fly in Australia as yet.

Of interest, VH-INU was delivered to Nauru Airlines in July 2021.  It was previously operated by Air China as B-5203 and Surinam Airways as PZ-TCS.

UPDATE!  On Tuesday 28 November, VH-INU was back at Rockhampton Airport again (pictured below) operating for Bonza, but this time, operating as RON623/1052/1051/624 from the Sunshine Coast to Melbourne (Tullamarine) and back to Rocky and the Sunny Coast.  It then completed a run to Mackay Airport and back to the Sunshine Coast as RON591/2. 



Meanwhile, also on Monday 27 November, Cirrus Design Corp. SF50 Vision Jet wearing the American registration marking of N616TS landed at Bundaberg Airport from the Sunshine Coast on a training flight then departed back to there.  During the afternoon it repeated the flight. 

 LifeFlight (Aeromed) Bombardier Challenger 604 bizjet VH-URR "Ambulance 604" was back in the region yet again (daily visits almost!) with it landing at Hervey Bay (Fraser Coast) Airport before it then hopped to Bundaberg Airport.  It then flew up to Townsville and then back down to Mackay Airport and back to Brisbane.

Finally, also on Monday 27 November, Seair Pacific (Istlecote) Cessna 208 Caravan VH-TFB flew up from Hervey Bay (Fraser Coast) Airport and Maryborough Airport to Middlemount Aerodrome before flying down back to Hervey Bay Airport.
