According to FlightAware the Jetstar 787s not currently operating with their last flights are:

VKA - flew MEL - SIN 23/8/22. This or VKB maybe the aircraft that suffered the bird strike.
VKB - flew BKK - MEL 31/8/22. This or VKA maybe the aircraft that struck debris on the runway.
VKJ - flew MEL - PUS 24/8/22. Presumably for planned maintenance.
VKL - flew OOL - SYD 17/6/22. After lightening strike.
An update of my post of 7/9/22 on the unserviceability of Jetstar's B788s after two weeks:

VKA - is still in SIN and has not flown since 23/8/22;
VKB - is still in MEL and has not flown since 31/8/22;
VKJ - returned from PUS to CNS after two weeks on 8/9/22 and is back in service;
VKK - replaced VKJ in PUS on 12/9/22, possibly for repainting into the updated JQ livery with the orange tail as VKJ was there for two weeks which is about the right timeframe. Also, QANTAS was going to have their last three A380s repainted into the current livery in PUS before COVID hit. Has anyone photographed VKJ since it returned to service?
VKL - is still in SYD and has not flown since 17/6/22.

So, there are still four Jetstar B788s out of service with passenger angst still raging in the media.
