RE-INAUGURAL | Air Vanuatu Boeing 737 Landing & Takeoff | Melbourne Airport Plane Spotting

Air Vanuatu flies to Melbourne Airport once again, now 3x weekly with their Boeing 737-800 aircraft. Previously, the airline flew to Melbourne on a once a week basis, seasonally. The demand just was not enough to keep the service around and in 2015, the airline cut services.
Now with the airlines new code share agreement with Qantas and higher frequency, the route is much more sustainable. The inbound service flies into Melbourne as NF8 on Monday, Wednesday and Friday night at 20:15 and spends the night at the airport. The outbound leg flies out of Melbourne as NF7 at 07:00 the following morning.

We went to Vanuatu just before they started flying into Melbourne so we had to had a layover in Sydney
Wish we knew before that so we could’ve planned our trip better

I hope AV will again have flights from Melbourne after the borders all open again, I’m missing Vanuatu so much.
