That'd be a ferry flight as QF6xxx are not revenue services.

There is actually a whole bunch of 6xxx numbers that are passenger flights.

N267JB ferried BOS to MCN on 7/2/25

I have done another check, N216JB which has been in MCN since 12/3/24, did 2 test flights MCN/MCN on 24/1/25 and 30/1/25. N239JB in MCN since 15/6/24, did a test flight MCN/MCN on 6/1/25. Perhaps they are getting close to going to SJO.

Do you have examples?

With more A220 deliveries for JB, this seems to be where we are at:

Update on JetBlue E190's for QQ (10/02/2025)

Pre-Delivery
SJO: N198JB (QQ VH-A2B), N228JB, N236JB, N238JB (4)
Stored

What we know & (I guess)

Some of the aircraft stored at MCN & BHM will be scrapped (Euro) by end of this month (reportedly). That's why the MCN test flights have increased.

From above N267JB was ferried into MCN on 07/02/25 but there was no subsequent test flight. Has this frame not been handed over ?

UYR has rolled out of the paintshop in QLink colours.

[Greg Hyde]

Thanks Stirling, no surprise.

UYR is about to return to the fold with
