In yesterday Airline Routes Online posting on QANTAS services to Hong Kong it stated that the last 744 service to HKG was tentatively scheduled for 12 December, 2018. This will allow a further non ER 744 to be retired after one is retired in July, 2018, possibly OEB which is 25 years old.
The full post follows with the last sentence applicable:
