VA takes about 9 days between Brissie arrival and entry into service.

What does VA do during this process ?

[Rowan McKeever]

I read somewhere a while back airlines typically have to install some carrier- or country-specific equipment themselves once they get the aircraft home. Don't know what exactly though. Be interesting to find out!

I'm not certain, but it is quite possible that Qantas put their own seat overs on once ac is in Aus, I say this because the seat covers in some of the XZ series don't look totally fresh...I'd imagine this process would take atleast a day.
