QF Retires More Dash8-100's
 

Hi,

I believe VH-TQF, VH-TQP and VH-TQR have been retired from the QantasLink fleet. :(

Anyone got anymore info and if any other 100's are planned to retire also pls?

Thanks,

Steve S.

G'day Steve,

Most, if not all of the -100's will be gone by the end of the year.

c.oke cans or another airline?

I believe they are destined for Airlines PNG and this seems to fit as I have logged the Dash-8's on my SBS here in Townsville and then onto Cairns for delivery to Airlines PNG.

* 03-May 12:45 7C6275 VH-TQF DH8A
* 19-Apr 11:23 7C627D VH-TQN DH8A
* 02-May 12:46 7C627F VH-TQP DH8A

Yet to log VH-TQR, so it must still be in service at this point in time.

TQR is gone as well Dave,
A mate of mine ferried it MQL-BNE not long ago and it was minus it's roo and Qantaslink titles.

Ahh well, plenty of turboprops have certianly been retired this year thats for sure.

Hi,

So will the Melbourne to Wollongong route (and others currently using 100's) be operated with Dash8-300's?

Thanks,

Steve S.

TQP is now registered QQH
TQF is now registered QQI

I wonder whats replacing these aircraft Eastern haven't got any new Dashes for a good year or so.

Yes, but Sunstate have Q400s doing the Canberra runs and I think Easterns are getting Q400s as well?
