Does anyone know what all-Y B717 VH-NXI is doing in CBR? Positioned in last night according to flightaware. Is it in for a spell in the QantasLink hangar?

NXI brings me to another question as well, which is why the all-Y 717s have the QF logo on their engines but the JY 717s do not?

[Zac M]

Not all the Y 712s have engine logos...at least not NXG or H. As for NXI I've been trying to figure this out as well, possibly for mx, but could also be for a charter maybe??? Fokker 70 QQX is also in CBR today.

Had a look for NXI today, it is in the Qlink hanger at CBR having an engine change or at least major engine work done...bit of a surprise there, I was expecting only the five YQ series ones to be worked on in Canberra!

Cheers Zac... I'm surprised too, especially as (judging from theqantassource) there's nothing in the hangar in ADL? Also didn't realise there were all-Y 717s without engine logos, but can't remember the last time I saw NXG or NXH either.

NXI scheduled to head back to BNE as QJE6200 around 1pm this arvo. She must be feeling refreshed after 4-ish days of TLC :)
