On 13 June 2025, Scramble reported about a new Vietnamese start-up called Sun PhuQuoc Airways. Now, we can show you the first painted aircraft for the airline, which was rolled-out of the paintshop on 13 July 2025 at Shannon.

The aircraft is Airbus A321-211 2-FWCA (8577). It's owned by leasing company FitzWalter Aviation and was previously in use with VietJetAir as VN-A627 between 2018 and 2022. It has been parked at Shannon since October last year. It's currently unknown which Vietnamese-registration it will get.

Transavia's retrojet Airbus A321NX makes 1st flight

On 9 July 2025, Transavia's soon to be delivered retrojet took to the skies for the very first time. The A321-252NX, currently registered D-AYAD (12652), flew the flight from and to the Airbus-factory at Hamburg-Finkenwerder.

Delivery of the aircraft is scheduled for 25 July 2025 and will be ferried with flight number HV1965, referring to the year Transavia was founded. The 60 year birthday-livery is, however, not from its first year of operations but from a year later.

Once delivered, it will be the eleventh Airbus A321neo in Transavia's-fleet.

Later this year, Transavia is also set to unveil a new and refreshed livery. So far, the airline has only releases a picture of the new tail, which is now completely green with an updated white logo. So stay tuned!

Malaysia Airlines to add more Airbus A330-900s

Airbus was able to note down another order for new aircraft during the visit of Malaysia's Prime Minister to France. This time, the manufacturer signed a deal with state carrier Malaysia Airlines for more A330-900s. The carrier is doubling its commitment to the type by ordering another 20. Deliveries are scheduled to take place between 2029 and 2031.

Malaysia Airlines placed its first order for twenty A330-900s back in 2022. Ten were directly ordered with Airbus, the other ten are leased from Avolon. The airline took delivery of its first A330-900 in November 2024 and currently has four in service. They are deployed from Kuala Lumpur to Auckland, Denpasar and Melbourne.

Qantas takes delivery of 1st Airbus A321XLR

Qantas has officially taken delivery of its first Airbus A321XLR. The aircraft, VH-OGA (12323) was handed-over at the manufacturer's plant at Hamburg-Finkenwerder and departed on 30 June 2025.

The delivery flight is setting records as it will be flying non-stop from Hamburg to Bangkok, covering a distance of 9,600 km. It's the longest flight so far for Airbus' newest variant of the A321neo. From Bangkok, it will fly non-stop to Sydney, a distance of 7,400 km. It's expected to arrive there on 2 July 2025.

It's the first of 28 A321XLRs Qantas is planning to welcome into its fleet. The long-range Airbus will be used to gradually replace older Boeing B737-800s in the fleet. It will be predominantly used for domestic and short-haul international flights.

Qantas is currently operating a fleet of 75 B737-800s, so the planned 28 A321XLRs won't cover that. The airline group, however, has open remaining orders for around 100 A320neo-family aircraft. These will be allocated to Jetstar or Qantas closer to the planned production slot based on the airlines' need.
