QANTAS Fleet and Operations

[James Smith]

Thanks for that update, Tristan. It looks as though AUH is going to get busier unless we see some QF A380 departures.

In other QF news, B789 ZNG is scheduled to depart LAX in a few minutes on its return from maintenance and is to operate QF94 to MEL.

With B789 VH-ZNG back in service, it will be interesting to see when ZNJ & ZNK head to Singapore for their 3yr Heavy Maintenance.

A380 VH-OQK returned to service after its wing spar inspections operating the delayed QF1D this evening.

A380 VH-OQG has just completed a 2 hour 42 minute test flight as QF6029 from AUH out over the Persian Gulf.

A380 VH-OQL is about to depart LAX for LHR and AUH as QF6023. Of the ten remaining QANTAS A380s, five are in service, four will be in AUH and one left in storage in VCV. OQG will probably leave AUH shortly and another will possibly commence having its wing spar inspection in SYD.

[James Smith]

A380 VH-OQG is scheduled to depart AUH in just over 3 hours as QF6024 for SYD with an estimated arrival time of 8:40 tomorrow morning. She must have passed yesterday's test flight!

A380 VH-OQJ is about to take off from SYD on a 40 minutes flight west of the city. This is probably a crew training flight with QANTAS conducting similar short flights on Saturday 10/12/22 (two) with OQB and Saturday 17/12/22 with OQD.
