Qantas B747 on domestic - 24/9/09
Today's QF419 Sydney to Melbourne flight was operated by B747 VH-OJI.
Is it known why Qantas have used this jumbo on a domestic flight? A repositioning move? High passenger demand? Roll-on effect from yesterday's dust storms? Will be interesting to see if this a/c works the return flight, QF428 back to Sydney. |
I am not sure of the reason, but I remember flying on a B747 last year MEL-SYD when there had been a day of delays and cancellations ex MEL and QF flew a B747 down to uplift pax who had been delayed, so could be a similar situation.

Its to get people moving again.
Big back log to clear from yesterday! |
According to the QF website QF428 is operated today by a B744.
|
I was at airport and can tell you OJI sure got up early- not far past Novotel Cronulla off 34L looking from the tower/mound.
Will upload some pics in this thread soon |
.....if only they had a spare A380 to run some domestic shuttles today!:rolleyes:
|
Are any of the domestic gates at T1 at MEL A380 capable?
|
Nope. Unless they upgraded gate 23, but I don't see why they would
|
B747's have also been known to do Syd-Melb on Grand Prix weekends as well :)
|
VH-OJS worked QF557 & QF566 today between Sydney and Perth.
Any known reason for today's equipment change? |
