B-LAR didn't operate CX100 yesterday and is still on the ground so presume mechanical problem. It is showing on Planeplotter with no position.

KE121 is a 777-200ER tomorrow instead of a 747-400. HL7752 is the registration.

I know that AirNZ will bring it over the tasman if the loads warrant it.

Incidently they could feasably bring it over daily as theres at least 1 747 parked up at AKL all day, in fact I've seen 12 of 20 (7 777s, 4 767s, 1 747) of their widebody fleet parked at AKL from 6am and still there at 6pm. Not great utilisation of their fleet. I wonder how that compares to QF. NZ could be one of the world worst IMO. No wonder why they rake up a $1m INTL OPS loss per week.

Just a heads up for tomorrow. ZK-OKP in "The Hobbit" livery might be in Sydney. NZ118/119 to SYD and NZ135/136 to BNE are scheduled to be operated by Boeing 777-300ER's so one will be lucky and get OKP and the other will get OKM.

EDIT: Sorry guys, I have heard that it is scheduled to go to BNE.

Oh bloody hell!

Brindabella
 

Has Brindabella started flying there J41 in and out of Sydney yet?

Can confirm that Brindabella have started flying the J41 into Sydney, saw VH-TAI departing this morning.

Ta James, it would be on the Cobar sector?

QF21 747 took off from Cairns (very loud I will say) at 0245 am this morning on its way to Tokyo, not sure why it was here (medical diversion maybe).

To be honest I'm not too sure, didn't manage to catch the callsign, but I think it's fairly likely anyway. Was roughly a 7:30 am departure if that helps. :)
