VH-XNH was retired from service 14th June? So now it’s an all airbus freight fleet?

If XNH doesn't return to service, it will be an all Airbus fleet with more A321's to come.

Could Qantas convert more of the Jetstar A321s since they will be replaced by LR/XLRs?

They may be getting better deals on already converted frames (with lower time), and there is no waiting for conversion.

Also VH-XMR/N490AY has joined her sisterships in Brunswick, ME

B734F VH-XNH looks as though it has returned to service operating QF7308 MEL-ADL on the morning of 3/7/24 and returning ADL-MEL as QF7380 on turnaround.

It then operated QF7357 MEL-HBA early this morning 4/7/24 and is scheduled to operate HBA-MEL in the early hours of tomorrow morning 5/7/24 with the same flight number.

Does anyone know if XNH's return is temporary to stand in for an unserviceable freighter or has it been having some essential maintenance since 14/6/24 and is now returning on light duties before its retirement later in the year?
