Jetstar are leasing 4 more A330-200s, on 6 year leases with 1 to arrive in December.

Time for direct NZ longhaul flights!

I have heard the 1 A332 due in DEC will be coming from QF?

The 4-5 new leased ones will begin arriving from NOV 2010.

Anyone else have more details?

Any indication where the capacity from December's delivery will be directed?

The Aircraft is coming new from France, soon to hit the production line, its cn 1061.

Rumours of Athens have been going for years, that would have to be a favourite along with Rome.

Is that the single aircraft due DEC this year?

I heard VH-EBK will be moved from QF to JQ in DEC?

According to the Production List it seems it is coming from CIT LEASING and is close to being built.

EBK has been converted from 34J to 38J seats. Could that signal an impending move? I am not sure about EBJ.

The previous QF domestic 332s had 38J. I thought it was odd to have EBJ/K delivered with 34J when the seat width and pitch was still the same as the 2-3-3 38J config - just with massive aisles.

IIRC Jetstar has said that they will be re-instating Cairns-Osaka in December.

The fleet information section of our intranet has the fifth A332 registration listed as VH-EBK. I initially found this strange seeing as that is already allocated to one of the QF A332s, so people's theories about EBK transferring seem plausible. It says its MSN is 0945, if that helps. It's planned entry into service says Dec 09. The extra A332s beyond that are not yet listed - presumably the new frames coming from Toulouse.
