I expected that the market crashed (no pun intended) when cheaper and newer E-Jets and A220 appeared on the market

YQV was scheduled to operate CBR-DRW-CEB, but looks to be canx.

Have read on another forum that ZNL will be delivered to QF on the 28th of this month.

Seems unlikely, with FAA sign off required for each B789, Boeing are currently only shipping two B789s per month. One B789 each for Air Premia & Gulf Air are both ahead of the Qantas 789s in terms of progress through the queue.

ZNL should have to do an FCF after its updates and then a flaw free C1 to jump the queue.

May 28th would make more sense for promised June deliveries, and proposed SYD-AKL-JFK flight start up.

Boeing did 7 787s in March, and ZNL is flying now https://www.flightradar24.com/data/flights/boe280

True, however I was specifically looking at progress with 789s since 1 January

I stand corrected. I note we now have a name for ZNL : "Billabong" (from link in ... Qantas 789 post #1043 )

And on a similar note, what has happened to the A350 deliveries this year ? Only 6 have been delivered so far yet A220s, A320s and A321s are all going strongly and even 6 A330s have been delivered. Is it supply chain issues with the A350 or other reasons ?

YQV looks to be scheduled for ferry again today first leg CBR-ASP as Southern Cross 2325

First leg is underway for YQV, en route to ASP. Then on to BME later today. From there I understand the next stop is Surabaya.

Due to dep BME at 0805hrs LT today for its planned 2h18m flight to SUB with cs “ Southern Cross 2324” .
