Qantas 787

Qantas to begin 787 domestic flights on November 1

Qantas’s first Boeing 787-9 will begin commercial passenger service on Wednesday on the Melbourne-Perth route.

The aircraft, VH-ZNA Great Southern Land, will operate QF481, which is scheduled to depart Melbourne at 1750 and arrive in Perth at 1830 local time.

Qantas said on Wednesday VH-ZNA would receive an Airservices Aviation Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) monitor cross at Melbourne Tullamarine prior to departure.

Further, residents of Perth would be able to get a closer look at the next generation widebody when, subject to weather and air traffic control, the flight conducts a low flyover over the city at about 2,000 feet prior to landing.

After an overnight stop in Perth, VH-ZNA will operate QF762 back to Melbourne, which is due to depart at 0800 and land at 1425.

Will this be the first B787 domestic service in Oz ?

Has JQ ever flown their B787 on domestic routes other than routes proving/training flights ?

I'm thinking these flights are as domestic as the MEL OOL flights JQ did in late 2013.

I often notice JQ 787 services between Melbourne and the Queensland centres, particularly the Gold Coast and maybe Cairns.

When will ZNB be delivered, and to what airport?
