Mt Cook Airline ATR72-600's - updated

A trio of Mt Cook ATR72-212A (600 series) have been added to the ZK register in recent days ahead of their delivery flights to Australasia.

First off the blocks from Toulouse was MSN 1299 registered ZK-MVO and strangely in primer only. It arrived at Townsville for induction to the Flying Colours paint facility on the afternoon of 21 December routing via Alexandria, Al Ain, Nagpur, Penang and Kupang as SXI1544.

Still wearing its ATR test registration F-WWEE, ZK-MVO is seen here departing Toulouse last week. Thanks to Moto Ohmura for the photo.
