The Swifties may get a bit wet.

Out of curiosity can the A380 fit into the old 747 domestic parking bays at SYD and MEL, or is bussing required to a remote bay.

QF A380 VH-OQK 24/2/2024 off to Abu Dhabi (AUH) QF6015
What's happening with OQK?

is it off to get some attention?

[Brenden S]

Probably heavy maintenance Andrew.

A380 VH-OQL is operating SYD-AUH at present as QF6015 for maintenance which I hope includes its refurbishment. OQK has also been in AUH since 24/2/24 undergoing maintenance which means that QANTAS will be operating with six A380s for an indeterminant time. This is able to be achieved as QF127/128 completed its summer A380 operations to HKG on Tuesday morning of this week.

VH-VZV has re-appeared from Hong Kong maintenance with the split scimitar winglets

The 4 remaining Boeing Freighters (2 x 733, 1 x 734 and 1 x 763) will be gone by the end of the year with three additional A321Fs due this year.

Edit: this would mean the last VH- registered 767 will be gone by years end.
