QANTAS Fleet and Operations

[James Smith]

The ZNB/ZNC HKG maintenance change over has taken place with ZNB now back in MEL (QF30) and ZNC (QF29) in HKG. ZNB is about to position to SYD as QF6002.

Interestingly, ZNC operated an Antarctic charter on Sunday as QF1330 MEL-MEL with 13:26 being the flight time.

ZNB operating today's QF28 from SCL to SYD has diverted to AKL, presumably because due to the very late departure from SCL, it wouldn't make the Sydney curfew. Interestingly though, there may be more of the same with tomorrow's QF28, because ZNL is currently heading to SCL as QF27 but left Sydney 5.5 hors late at around 1800 tonight, instead of the usual 1235 lunchtime departure, which will again delay the return QF28.
