Ex Spirit Airlines A319-100 N503NK 2470 is due to be delivered to QFL as VH-8NP

VH-OQL is operating an additional service from Sydney via Singapore to Heathrow as Qf331 with the England women's world Cup squad part of the passenger loading. I believe it is due to then reposition from Heathrow for cabin refit but unsure if that's Abu Dhabi or Dressdon.

Reuters reporting QF are close to ordering the B78X to replace the A330s

Operating back to SYD via SIN as QF332.

Thanks for the information, Neil. It'll be good to finally have OQL refurbished. We will watch where it heads to after LHR with interest. This also explains the reason for the two charter flights SYD-LHR in the following AeroRoutes post although the second flight as QF331 has operated on a later date because of England's success in the Women's Soccer World Cup:

If you watch the recently uploaded FR24 video on YouTube about the Etihad A380 activation, one QF A380 in the new livery is shown wrapped up outside the hangars and reference is made to another which is in a hangar alongside the EY A380 which is undergoing a 12 year check. Worth a watch.

Thanks for the info, Tom. Using my magnifying glass I could make out the QANTAS A380 as OQC. So, it looks as though it may be the last A380 to return to service.
