The refurbishments will mean that eventually all 332s will have the same config which can be used on domestic and international flights. This config is similar to the 333s which are used predominantly on international routes. The idea is that all A330s can be used on domestic or international routes.

The config is not similar at all in Y, different seats and entertainment options???? Not to mention the lack of tech crew rest areas. I don't believe any A332 will be used internationally on a regular basis, trans Tasman might be an option during peak need.

VH-EBS back in service this morning operating the QF589 (BNE-PER)

And, subject to confirmation, it's likely QPE has just entered the maintenance hangar for its heavy check and refit after arriving into BNE as QF52 this morning.

No other A332s are currently shown as being out of service.

A slight correction QPF arrived yesterday 25th. Also EBG arrived BNE this morning from PER around 5ish on the Red Eye and then did 51 to SIN at about 12.30pm

Forgot to add that based on previous 333's, QPD should be out about end of June and I guess QPE about the end of July. So that would give 5 x 333's converted in time for the new BNE/NRT/BNE on 2 August.

Based on history one would presume that QPF will head to Singapore for a repaint once QPD returns to service at the end of June.

I'm SO looking forward to the day all repainting finishes. This has to be the longest and most boring post ever :)

Would you be able to give us an update on which QF A330's are to be withdrawn?

Cheers ;)

I'm guessing EBI next.
