New QantasLink Q400s

[Todd Milton]

VH-QOP is currently running out of Sydney (Was in Canberra last night), VH-QOR I do not know as I have not seen it around yet. QOO and QOQ are regos not being used, as they are currently taken by someone else.

I flew QOR back from CNS-BNE yesterday, they tend to keep the new ones close to the BNE base until all the post-delivery snags are tidied up.

QOR already has a nice big scratch on the forward baggage on its first day of ops thanks to a baggage tug which got a bit too close.

According to the timetable section on qantas.com, it now seems QantasLink will be running Q400's from MEL into LST and DPO from April.

Add CBR and MQL (Mildura) to that list as well.

Any new deliveries in the last week or so? When is the next one due?

The Q400s start flying out of MEL for the first time from next week.

QOR spends a lot of time up in Nth Qld. Have logged QOR regularly over the last week operating out of TSV & CNS to MKY, ISA etc.

There are 7 Dash 8 400's to come yet, QOS - QOY. Possibly 5 to come this year starting in July/August

QLink Q400's are now also 74 seater aircraft (previously 72). Made possible by pulling out the rear locker and placing in two seats. Was on -QOH the other day and it had been done, and now the website has finally changed over to state it.

All aircraft have been modified and the seats became available for sale on 13-Apr.
