Federal Election 2025 - Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) Boeing B737-8 MAX BBJ A62-001 "Envoy 97" Brings PM Albanese to Bundaberg Airport - Plus More!

With the Federal Election called literally on the previous day, on Saturday 29 March, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese hit the hustings in Central Queensland on board Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) Boeing B737-8 MAX BBJ A62-001 which arrived into Bundaberg Airport from Brisbane as "Envoy 97".

It later departed to Canberra.

And as with previous Federal Election campaigns, an Alliance Airlines Fokker F-70 jet joined the Prime Minister's RAAF VIP aircraft to transport media and other key personnel.  In this instance, it was VH-QQX which also arrived from Brisbane and departed to Canberra but as "Envoy 20".

Finally, also on Saturday 29 March, fellow RAAF Dassault Falcon 7X bizjet A56-001 departed Bundaberg Airport for Canberra as "Envoy 99".

It had arrived the previous day as "Envoy 95".
