Qantas Airbus A330 Fleet Refurbishment

[C Patters]

Does anyone have a date of when QPF will be returning from Singapore? Will another 330-300 go in for painting when QPF returns?

VH-QPI and ex JQ VH-EBK are both currently being upgraded and will both need a repaint once the upgrade is done.

QPF should be ferrying back to SYD tonight as QF6010, departing at 23.00 from SIN (so I am guessing an 08.55 arrival tomorrow morning).

EBF will be going for paint on the 5th August. QPE will start its reconfigure on the 4th August.

QPF is the QF6010 SIN-BNE tonight.
Departing Singapore at 2355 arriving in Brisbane at 0920

Which of the -200's will go in next after EBK ?

Thanks in advance.

EBF presumably as it is going to SIN for painting on 5 August. I have been looking at the JQ schedules seeing that VKL does not appear to be delivered till mid to late September.
Sunday 20 September JQ 005 MEL/BNE/HNL and return as 006 on Monday 21/9 is shown as a 788.
Monday 21 September JQ 001 MEL/HNL is a 332, 006 to BNE, 005 to HNL and 002 to MEL arr Wed 23/9.
Thursday 24/9 JQ001 and 006 MEL/HNL/BNE is a 332. However 005/002 BNE/HNL/MEL is a 788. It appears to be a changeover in BNE with no doubt EBE withdrawn from service.

So is it presumed that QPI comes out on August 4? Im assuming that she was not due for a C check and therefore has gone through the reconfig quicker?

[Dennis McLean]

Have no idea. QPF is in BNE as is QPI. QPB came in from HKG today and is on its way back there. QPD came is from SIN and is scheduled to go back there in 20 minutes. Remember QF needs another 333 out of BNE to NRT from 1 August.
