First Qantas A380 In Service By October

[Chris Tully]

Plenty of space at the Melbourne Sim facility since they removed the A330.

I think there is only an A320 and 737 sim sitting there at the moment.

What routes

Looks like another A330 sim will return to the Melbourne Training Facility later this year (October).

Hey I was looking for any sort of confirmation of when the first Qantas A380 will be coming to Australia, And I noticed that VH-QOC took flight over the weekend for the first time.

From airliners.net:

MSN 014 - qf's first a380 will start to make re-check flights in August and will be also transferred to TLS in August, meaning the delivery could take place end of August or in September 2008. It was already seen at the flight-line in XFW but due to marketing reasons they had to move it back into an hangar for today Wink

MSN 015 - qf's second a380 - arrived in TLS end of June 2008. So, I don't think October 2008 is possible but rather something like end of this year.

And MSN 022 - qf's third a380 - had not yet its first flight and I don't think it will be delivered this year but in beginning of 2009.

Well I still think the 2nd one will arrive end OCT as QF will start using it mid November.... the third is then scheduled to start service mid January.

QF getting a little anxious about LAX and their facilities.

Just when some are asking if it's Qantas that's been lax!

What is expected delivery date for QF ? will it be coming to SYD or straight to MEL?

Straight to Sydney (via Singapore) in late September.
