New 787-9 on delivery to LATAM. It is CC-BGW, ex G-CKNY with Norwegian UK and LN-LNV with Norwegian Long Haul. It is being delivered from AUH to GRU (and presumably SCL ultimately) via MAD.

Jump to postCalm down guys, AD is not opening new routes from anywhere using those "brand new" A359. They're replacing aging A332.
Jump to postOh ok then yeah it probably is a post-COVID change. Amazing how so many re-fits (QF A380/DL 77L/JL 772) all happened just a short while ago and now they're all going into storage/retirement. It was a non ER. JA704J is very much a 777-200ER. Just do a quick rego search on this site or Google. Michae...
Jump to postI don't know, sorry. I just checked VCV inbounds this morning and saw this on the arrival boards. I think that they may slowly be phasing the 777s out eventually as 7 772/773 have been retired over the past years. Side note, this is the first JAL 772 at VCV. Don't believe so given JAL just refitted...
Jump to postMeanwhile Latam reinstated some European frequencies from GRU. LHR, CDG, MAD, FRA and LIS are now back. I wonder who are they flying... CARGO flights are on the move. Also, EU citizens getting back home after a long quarentine in BR. (I know some.) Of couse, they don't intend to fill every seat, bu...

Jump to postQF itself stated that the 789 is the 747 replacement. Airports served by both 747 and 747ER will see 789s instead. The 789 will also open up new oportunities for QF if it intends to order a few more planes.

It's a huge surprise that they're expanding to a 5th weekly flight on this section since the load factor haven't been that great latelly, around 60-75%. During the summer it reached peaks of 88%.
