Does anyone know when one of EBB's winglets will be re-installed?

QANTAS has scheduled QF6014 AUH-SYD departing 10:00am on Friday 20/12/24 and arriving in SYD at 7:30am Saturday 21/12/24. The flight will be operated by one of the three A380s (OQC, OQK or OQL) returning from long term storage and maintenance in AUH. Subject to change of course.

At this stage there is no test flight showing on Flightaware out of AUH scheduled for any of the three A380s there, it will maybe happen today or Thursday. Also, at this stage there is no QF6013 A380 replacement flight going to AUH for maintenance showing up until this Friday, so there maybe only be the two to remain.
