QANTAS Fleet and Operations

[James Smith]

There is currently a QANTAS flight (QF201) that left SYD for SIN yesterday evening, 2/12/23 and is currently on its way to LHR. It is operated by A380 OQI.

This flight is presumably a passenger charter flight. Does anyone know if OQI will be returning to SYD from LHR or maybe swapping with OQK in DRS for gear change maintenance if it is due, or heading to AUH itself for maintenance? It could even swap with OQH which is shortly due into LHR as QF1 and operate QF2 home.

In my frequent flyer email. QOW Dash 8 and a unknown 737-838 have had some Christmas decals applied.

Yes QOW was seen yesterday on one of BNE live streams.Has 3 red kangaroos forward of the wing and a red sleigh behind the wing with 3 presents being tossed from the sleigh.That's what it looks like to me.

And the Dash 8 looks very good indeed in the simple Christmas scheme.

Looks like EBF hasn't flown in a few days has been in Sydney for the last week. Does anyone know if its because of mechanical issues?

Looks like it was some gear work.

Looks like EBD is close to undertaking a test flight after being in maintenance in Brisbane as you can see her being towed out of the hanger (approx 5.52hrs) in the recent live stream by "Julia Flights" over the weekend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSnzEp-ZOyU
