Revamped QLink 717s
Hi All
According to Australian Business Traveller the first refurbished / revamped QantasLink 717 is now in service. Does anyone know the rego etc? Cheers Rowan http://www.ausbt.com.au/qantaslink-d...t-more-of-them |

Rowan,
I believe it is VH-NXH. It ferried Adelaide-Perth yesterday. I think VH-NXD is next as it was due into Adelaide this afternoon. Last edited by Stefan Perkas; 23rd November 2012 at 01:09 PM. |

Sorry to drag this up again folks... wondering if anyone (Stefan) might know when NXD is due out of ADL from its cabin refit? NXH took ~5weeks which NXD is sitting on I think, but with Christmas / NY wondering if it'll be in a bit longer? Also curious if its next stop will be PER to re-enter service or TSV for repaint?
Cheers Rowan |

Hi Rowan,
VH-NXD departed Adelaide yesterday afternoon to Perth. VH-NXK is ferrying over to Adelaide from Perth at the moment under its new callsign 'Q-Jet6200' under the flight number 'QJE6200'. Last edited by Stefan Perkas; 21st January 2013 at 11:04 AM. |

Thanks Stefan, saw NXD's ferry flight through flightaware yesterday but grateful the info on NXK.
Interesting the 717s are now using a company callsign rather than their NXx. When did that change happen? Listening to liveatc this morning it sounds pretty recent as a couple of pilots have started using the rego and corrected themselves. Cheers Rowan |

Any word on whether the new old ones announced last week will be reconfigured before they enter service ?

Hi Greg, the media release from QF states '125 seat' but depending where the units are coming from they may or may not already be 125 seat... I'd say it's safe to assume they'll be the same as NXH and NXD though. Cheers, Rowan
