EBF looks to be definitely heading towards BNE and scheduled to arrive at 19:59 local time. The later part of the route on Flightaware is B562 from New Guinea to MK (Mackay), Y61 to waypoint RUROX and Y177 to waypoint SMOKA and descent into BNE. So, it doesn't look as though it will land in CNS. FR24 seems to be confused.

EBF has arrived in BNE, same scheme as the 321s and renamed ‘Hercules’.

Do the A321F's have names ?

Nope, EBF seems to be the first freighter names.

EBF is currently on its way to CNS who won't miss out on seeing it today.

Sorry if this was mentioned elsewhere on the message board.

Interesting to see QF will deploy 380's on the SYD-JNB route starting July 2024. I would of thought SYD-DFW would of got 380's back before upgrading JNB, especially since QF 16 & 93 are night services at that time of the year....hence killing connections at LAX.

DFW is range-limiting (I read elsewhere today that the B744ER operated westbound on that route with ~100 seats blocked), and now has the second route to MEL. Even the B789s have had diversions to BNE etc. on the westbound services, and they're more capable than the A380.

JNB will also operate at between 4 and 6 weekly A380s with no other non-stop service, compared with pre-COVID where QF were operating at up to daily with a B744 in addition to SA operating daily to PER. And of course once upon a time there was VA, too.

On 18/9/23 QF596 YSSY-YBCG had hydraulic issues and upon touchdown reported full loss of hydraulics and became stranded on the end of runway 32 at OOL. VH-VXC is the aircraft.
After this incident VXC ferried to SYD on 19/9/23 and returned to service operating QF651 SYD-PER on Tuesday 26/9/23. It operated internal WA services yesterday.
