It looks as though OEI did a 3:30 hour test flight from Hong Kong yesterday. I think that they have done maintenance on the 744ERs in registration sequence with OEJ the last to be done.

It will be interesting to see if OEJ goes into maintenance before Christmas as the work is taking 6 weeks or more to perform. Also, with excess 744 capacity with the last Tuesday Sydney to LA 744 service on 27 November, 2018; Sydney to LA additional seasonal 2 pw service from 14 December, 2018 to be operated by A380s; Brisbane to LA operated completely by 789s from 1 December, 2018 and the last 744 service to Hong Kong on 30 November, 2018, OEJ may be able to be spared before or even with another 744 retirement. There are at least two 744s involved with these services.
