The first cancellations of Qantas 787-9 flights in 51 days occurred yesterday - starting with VH-ZNC returning to Perth terminal without taking off for the Perth - London (LHR) sector of QF9.
https://www.flightradar24.com/data/flights/qf9#22a9f531 The QF10 London (LHR) - Perth sector departing 30 Oct was also cancelled (see Qantas Flight Status and FlightRadar24). Today's QF10 Perth - Melbourne sector is being operated by VH-ZNC after it's over-night stop in Perth. This flight was delayed until after the arrival of the Emirates A380 (Qantas codeshare) flight EK420/QF8420 - linking from EK002/QF8002 - presumably with some priority passengers transferring from the cancelled QF10 flight. |

That service has a pretty good track record. I think since it has been operating that is the 5th Cancellation.

ZNJ is now showing as ready for delivery by Boeing. It will possibly re-position to LAX for a few days, similar to ZNI, before flying to LHR for the non-stop flight to SYD. No flight showing for VH-ZNJ or QF7879 at this stage.

ZNJ is just about to depart PAE on her delivery flight to LAX!

Thanks for that Mr Patters. ZNJ is operating as QF6027 on a 4 hour and 55 minute flight to LAX, currently flying north-west from Everett. It must be flying the tourist route or doing some preparation for its non-stop flight from LHR on the way to LAX.
A cute post on Twitter of the impending delivery by Katie Bailey: Last edited by James Smith; 8th November 2019 at 08:29 AM. |

As I mentioned earlier in this thread, I believe that ZNJ is expected to arrive in SYD from LHR around 11.45am on Friday 15/11 as QF7879. So that would give time for a few days in LAX like ZNI and the ferry to LHR.

ZNJ has flown north-west over Vancouver Island up the Canadian inland passage for 1,100 kms to Graham Island turned east for 500 kms and turned south, presumably along the British Columbia mountains. She has just overflown Everett and continuing to LAX.
It looks to be very scenic flight with maybe some VIPs on board. Hopefully, the weather was clear for viewing. Last edited by James Smith; 8th November 2019 at 10:20 AM. |

Does ZNJ have a different color than the previous aircraft.
The red/orange look darker (richer) or is it a trick of the light ? |
