Lion's found in Brisbane

Late last month there have been a fair few aircraft leaving the Asia Pacific Aircraft Storage facility in Alice Springs in the Northern Territory of Australia, and today was no different. 


Two Lion Air Boeing 737-8GP departed Alice Springs bound for the USA and called into Brisbane for a fuel stop.
N381AG, with the callsign of Nomadic 553, departed Alice Springs from runway 12 at 9.31am (Alice Time) and set course for Brisbane landing on runway 01L 2 hours 30 minutes later at 12.34pm local. 

N381AG is the new registration as the aircraft started its life with Thai Lion Air in August 2015 with the registration HS-LUI. Then in March 2020 it ended up with Lion Air and had the registration PK-LQV (MSN 39861).


Twelve minutes later N386AG, with the callsign Nomadic 554, departed Alice also from runway 12 at 9.43am (Alice Time) and he too set course for Brisbane. Nomadic 544 landed on runway 01L fourteen minutes later at 12.48pm.

N386AG is the new registration as the aircraft also started its life with Thai Lion Air in October 2015 with the registration HS-LUK. Then in March 2020 it ended up with Lion Air and had the registration PK- LQW (MSN 39868).





At 1.51pm Nomadic 553 pushed back from the gate and made the long taxi out for the 01L holding point, then at 2.02pm starting rolling for take off and headed off for Honiara. From there it will travel to Honolulu, Los Angeles and on to Miami's Opa Locka.






At 2.13pm Nomadic 554 pushed back from the gate and also made the long taxi out for the 01L holding point, then at 2.26pm starting rolling for take off and headed off for Honiara. From there it will travel to Honolulu, Los Angeles and on to Miami's Opa Locka.
