Air Austral's first 777-300ER is now sitting on the PAE ramp minus paint.

It is direct, direct via Reunion

Your right it's a blatant lie but the public will end up booking anyway if the prices are cheap enough.

It is direct, just not non-stop.

Things are getting closer. Not only do they have have a revised smart livery (cross of EVA and Air Tahiti Nui) but the reg. is dedicated to the new Sydney service also.

Here is F-OSYD at PAE thanks to Matt's scoop shot.

Thanks for the link Scott - not a bad looking livery, reminds me of ANA to be honest.

Is it likely QF will ever get daily rights to Paris?

Also-when QF did the Paris services, did they operate from Perth? I seem to recall they did....

Yes, I believe the Paris flights did originate from Perth. I seem to recall the interactive route map on the Qantas website showing this when the flights were still operating.

Justin,

Qantas did operated Perth to Paris via Singapore.
Equipment used were B747-400 & operated as QF18/17.
Frequency I think was only 1 flight per week but could be wrong.

Cheers Greg
