I noticed in the Qantas timetable that there were a few extra flights from HKG to SYD in the next few days. Chinese New Years demand I guess.

There is a 744 doing the same thing on wed then operating QF166 HKG-SYD

If -QPJ is going for maintainance perhaps we'll see the first QF A330-300 in the revised livery.

QF 6021 is operating Sun,wed,fri of this week for Chinese new year extra flights.

Also the 333's GET maintenance done in BNE.

Hopefully those journalists will be reminded of where the maintenance is done should they read this.

Its only been happening in BNE for about six months.

Does anyone know when the next A330-300s are due for heavy maintenance? The A330-300 is the only sub-fleet (Unless you count the 767RR) at Qantas that doesn't have a single aircraft in the revised livery (and still has the older blue seat covers in Y)

Hi all,

QPJ is off to operate the extra HKG services over the chinese new year period.

All QF/JQ A330 maintenance work is done by QF in BNE.

Thanks

QPJ arrived as QF182 this morning.

I took a photo today as it taxiied for a 34L departure as QF129 to Shanghai.
Too much heat haze for a good photo as it rotated in front of the mound.
