That would be the second time reintroduced to service if so.

Airwork are selling their fleet as they are in financial strife, they just got an extension on their US$83M debt, interesting times in freightland

Last nights news mentioned that QF will receive 20 new aircraft over the next twelve months.

Yep, in detail:
QF
2xA321neoXLR (1 less than forecast prior)
5xA220 (1 more than forecast prior as the extra is a delayed delivery)
0xA321F (-2 from forecast prior - accelerated early deliveries)
JQ
8xA321neo-LR (+1 from prior)
5xA320neo

Also "new" to QF are more A319's & Dash8's

Yes Tristan, my thoughts are that OQG has had a gear change in AUH as they only take up to a fortnight to perform and don't necessarily need a test flight before ferrying home.

There is still no QF6015 flight to AUH listed on QANTAS flights up to 2/9/24. So, three to remain in AUH.

Google Maps shows 3 on an apron on the south side near Etihad Cargo, but no dates on the image.

Look near Echo and Foxtrot off 31L
