E2, flown home

from Australian Aviation Podcast Network Hosted by Momentum Media

After almost 30 years in service, Virgin Australia Regional Airlines is finally allowing its old Fokkers to retire with the arrival of the Embraer E190-E2, the first of which touched down from Brazil this month. With an improved range, a new cabin, and more efficient engines, the E2 might just be what Virgin's regional arm needs to expand its operations across WA – and potentially even further east. On this week's Australian Aviation Podcast, Jake is back to deliver his full trip report on the ferry flight from Canberra to Perth, and to look at where the new E-Jets could fit in to Virgin's larger network… as well as to reveal his new co-host at the thrilling conclusion of the "Game of Thorns"! Plus, Sydney Airport unveils plans to link its two domestic terminals – could the T2/T3 "Franken-terminal" set it up to compete with its new western rival?
