Saw EBS this arvo at Perth, it looked odd at first and then it occurred to me why...the Airbus A330 sticker is next to door 2R, makes the front look cluttered instead of being near 4R.

2x More JQ A332 must be on the way to QF early in the new year as the schedules show 1x A332 operating on the BNE-PER-BNE route in FEB with a second frame joining the BNE-PER-BNE route in MAR 2014.

I assume it will be VH-EBQ and VH-EBR as these are the only 2 at JQ that already feature in seat IFE.

Anyone know the exact dates?

I'm guessing it should be around late Dec/early Jan as JQ will be receiving VH-VKB/VKD by the end on the year. :o

Looks like the A332s will also appear on the SYD-BNE and BNE-SYD route from early next year.

So how many services per week will the A332s be operating MEL-SYD-MEL and BNE-SYD-BNE?

QF589/598 BNE-PER-BNE, A332 replaces B763 from Febraury 16 DAILY
QF767/652 BNE-PER-BNE, A332 replaces B763 from February 16 DAILY ex Sat
QF650/597 PER-BNE-PER, A332 replaces B763 from March 5 DAILY
QF651/594 BNE-PER-BNE, A332 replaces B763 from May 4 DAILY

Looks like the A332s will operate QF501/510 BNE-SYD-BNE DAILY ex Sat/Sun from May 5.

There're a couple of Saturday services on 501/510 in there too... forget the dates but it's only a few weeks.

What are the current domestic A332 services to/from MEL?

Does anyone have any idea when the next 332's (I guess Q and R) will be transferred to QF. Seeing that the new BNE/PER/BNE services commence on 16 February (2 return), and 4 March (1 return) requiring 2 aircraft, I would think that one of the two would have to back with QF for maintenance and painting in early January 2014.

I guess it depends on when VKB and VKD get into service.
