I can confirm ZS-YAX has been repainted with 4Z colors. Flew her on my flight from JNB to WVB on 05MAR23 but had to return to JNB due to issues with its number 2 engine. Hasn't flown since then per FR24. Anyone has news on its status?

I flew -YZA on Sunday evening JNB-GRJ...the seat lay-out seemed different with 11 Business class seats (same as the E195s?)
Was on -YZD Friday evening, was all-economy lay-out
It seems aircraft are keeping the same configuration as the previous operators.
ZSYZD/E ex-Azul = 106 all economy
ZS-YZA/C (I assume the 3rd aircraft will become YZB) ex Aeromexico = 11 Business + 88 Economy
Is there a shortage of seats for LNK to re-configure the cabin? Must be a scheduling nightmare.

Any idea why it took 11 months for an engine change - return to service?
Speculation on my end, but reasons could include
- Lack of parts
- No demand
- Extended check
- Maybe the engine failure was the catalyst for a host of other problems on the aircraft
among others. I'm sure someone closer to Airlink can give a proper reason.

New registration! C5-TEY, ex-TF-BBJ with Bluebird Nordic and VH-TJK with Qantas, is a Boeing 737-400SF that Africa Charter Airline recently took delivery of.

Sadly C5-TEY arrived at a crap time so no photo's.

Safairs FGA and FGB are done. Will be getting OE shortly then off for cargo conversion for ASL.
Very sad to see them go . They were one of the oldest operating -800s in the world.
In other news:
- SAA's A333 ZS-SXJ has been in service since Feb 4,
- We have images of that new AVIS livery on CRJ2 ZS-CMD: photo credit Julio Carrancho/Facebook
