Jetstar Fleet and Operations (Post-Covid)

[Tristan S]

YXV has entered service today, operating JQ578 MEL BNE

VH-YXS, the first of the 4 ex-GK aircraft recently added to the JQ fleet, operated its first revenue flight today as JQ696 OOL HBA

I have recorded six A320 that have arrived in Australia from Jetstar Japan and been re-registered. With four now in service with Jetstar, does anyone know whether VH-YXU (ex JA06JJ) and VH-YXQ (ex JA12JJ) will be also commencing operations with Jetstar? They arrived in ASP in December, 2020 and January, 2021 respectively.

[Greg Hyde]

Both are still at ASP

VKF has returned to service, operating JQ430 MEL OOL on 23/12.
