A side trip two-thirds of the way to PER and back will take the total flight time for ZNL close to the 20 hour mark.

I thought that the flight would head west from PAE towards Japan and then south to Australian, but heading west from southern NSW has resulted in the added time being flown in Australian airspace which is a logical and less costly solution. Now ZNL is due to land in less than an hour.

I wonder if Qantas will put back the 717 retirements given the issue with the A220 engines

I think you might find a few ex-JQ A320s in QFLink colours running around then until the engine on the A220 is......well redesigned?

Interesting...

The fine print has:
The Finnair A330 aircraft will operate selected Qantas flights between Sydney and Singapore from late October .... flights will be operated by Finnair pilots and cabin crew


Then

From late 2025, two Finnair A330s will be dry leased, operating for up to three years with Qantas pilots and cabin crew, creating new jobs and further promotional opportunities within Qantas.

I guess through that period they'll train up additional 330 crews.

No mention of EBD's RTS though

EBD is currently in the Brisbane hanger & should return to service after heavy maintenance has been completed

VH-NXJ departed Canberra this morning bound for Alice Springs, Darwin and onward enroute stops bound to join YQV in Victorville presumably. NXR has also been on the ground in Canberra for some time now, expect that will follow
