Aren't these flights to Cyprus to be pick up evacuees from Beirut ?

Yes, to pick up those who have been flown from Beirut to Larnaca on other chartered flights. Seems to be operating under an RAAF callsign.

Supposed to be another in a couple of days.

Ausy is a government callsign for flights to and from Aus, HiFly also used it when they did the ADF charter contract.

VH-YQY finished up flying tonight with QF1501 from Sydney to Canberra

VH-YQS should finish up after QF1573 CFS-MEL on Sunday 13/10

VH-YQW should have the honours of the final B717, at this stage the final day of ops is as follows-
QF1500 CBR-SYD 0600-0655
QF1503 SYD-CBR 0735-0830
QF1504 CBR-SYD 0910-1005
QF1563 SYD-LST 1205-1350
QF1562 LST-SYD 1430-1610
QF1511 SYD-CBR 1655-1750

Good to see, end of an era, I would hope she was non negotiable material when it came to disposal, given she is the last production aircraft where Qantas flew both the first and last, but she is probably heading east rather than south….Zac, when are the final ops?

YQY ended up continuing operations today due to YQW having some issues

YQY operated its final flight yesterday as QF1505 SYD-CBR. Set to ferry to VCV for disposal by end of month.

XZA has emerged from the BNE hangar with SSW.

VXC in Townsville.

Why would they bother repainting VXC when it’s one of the first to go with the fleet renewal? Surely the XZ rego series would be a better choice for a repaint ��*♂️
