QANTAS Fleet and Operations

[James Smith]

Thanks for the details of the special flights by QANTAS to TLV, Stirling. QF9 is scheduled to arrive at LHR at 5:05 each morning. It will turn around to operated to TLV returning to LHR at 19:45.

I presume that QF10 will depart 22:00'ish to PER about 10 hours late and may not operate the PER-MEL-PER leg but return to LHR as QF9 seven or eight hours late. Alternatively, QANTAS could redeploy another B789 from MEL-LAX for example and replace it with an A380 as there are excess A380s at present that could be used prior to the commencement of the NW schedule.

QF10 is not bookable on Friday and Saturday

Interestingly FR24 TLV Arrivals schedule shows VH-ZNN due in at 13:30 local as ASY1168. So operated on behalf of the RAAF rather than thier QF6xxx charter numbers??

Qantas don’t have traffic rights into TLV so that probably explains the callsign. Looks like they have delayed the QF10 by 12 hours so maybe the aircraft are doing the TLV rotation then resuming normal ops with crews doubling up at LHR

ZNN is on the ground in TLV. Arrived a few minutes ago.

The remaining repatriation flights have been cancelled due to the rapidly changing and volatile conditions.
