VH-OQA left SYD at 21:51 this evening as QF6019 for SIN. Is DRS its ultimate destination? It would normally have flown non-stop to AUH if having maintenance and/or refurbishment there or non-stop to PUS if being repainted there. We shall see.

VH-OQA has arrived in DRS for maintenance and/or refurbishment making two QANTAS A380 there at once.

QANTAS is reverting QF35/36 MEL-SIN-MEL currently operated by an A380 to a 789 from 29/3/20 to 24/5/20. As this flight is an extension of QF93/94 some timing adjustments will be needed for the departure of the LAX flight from MEL.

This opens up the possibility of QANTAS getting a third A380 refurbished during this time, which maybe a little tight as the last two refurbishments have taken two months to complete. Another possibility is that the three remaining A380s could be repainted in PUS during the eight week period.
