Thanks for the information, Neil. VH-OQB is due to land at 11:52 this morning, according to FlightAware.

This will give QANTAS a fifth operational A380 and enable them to add another aircraft to the QF11/12 SYD-LAX-SYD route, making it a six day a week service from next Thursday 11 August, 2022. The Tuesday QF11/12 will be operated by a B789 until early December.

QANTAS will need a sixth A380 from 2 December, 2022 to operate QF93/94 MEL-LAX-MEL three times a week and the seventh A380 from 25 March, 2023 when this flight will operate six days a week.

Maybe QANTAS will have another operational A380 as a spare for the Christmas/New Year peak period. The timetable has an A380 operating QF18 from LAX-SYD on 7 January, 2023, making two A380 flights from LAX to SYD on that date, but this could be achieved by utilising the QF94 A380.
