Do we know which A330 is going next?

The former VH-OEJ has positioned MHV OSC (Oscada) as N329ZA, this is reportedly her last flight ever.

Just landing in LAX now to replace OQJ in the QANTAS maintenance facility. Excluding OQE & OQF, (I can't say the "s" word!) this leaves just three A380s to be returned to service at VCV - OQA, OQI & OQL, with only OQI refurbished.

No further A332/333 movements noted to PUS as yet, Alex. EBK has just returned from maintenance in MNL which may free another A332 to be repainted.

BTW A332 EBQ flew MEL-LAX yesterday as QF7779.

James do we know when EBN will be returning to service from its heavy check?

[James Smith]

No I'm not aware, maybe one of the industry spotters may know. It is having a C check and has been in maintenance for many months.

Reported NXD suffered an engine failure on takeoff this morning from Melbourne whilst operating QF1596 to Newcastle.

Burnt off some full and safely returned to Melbourne

From what I understand it is getting a huge maintenance check which is why it is taking so long. All scheduled of course.

[Michael Mak]

Does anyone know what's happening to EBB? I think that's the only A332 that hasn't been returned to service since March 2020.
