The 332 is based in BNE and usually operates 2 rotations per week to SYD and Middle East THE 343 will most likely do the same as they only have it for a very short time.Doubt whether MEL will see it ???but who knows.

The 343 will actually operate DRW-SYD today

It's taxiing here in Darwin shortly so I'm guessing it'll be in Sydney in around 3.5-4 hours.

"Aussie 66" due into SYD about 3.50pm.
