Correct but has it been confirmed that QF/Australia Post are actually acquiring additional Vallair sourced A321’s?
Other sources are saying that JQ’s -VWZ is #2 and -VWY is #3. Do we know when the next A321P2F is due for delivery? |

The thread title and your statement are both in error, Qantas has leased their first aircraft from Valuair, they have not entered into an agreement to buy three or lease three from Vallair. Smart lynx have taken two from Vallair, MSNs 891 and MSN 1017, which were converted by two different companies, 321 Precision for one (891) and EFW for the other, and they are planning another 8 by 2023. I don’t believe the second and third aircraft have had a supplier confirmed.

QF is the registered holder which indicates that they own the aircraft...

Interesting, all releases indicate it’s a lease, which is the case for the next aircraft as well which is not coming from Vallair: “ Australian carrier Qantas has signed a letter of intent with Keystone Holdings to convert and lease an A321P2F, the airline’s second freighter of the kind. The aircraft is expected to be redelivered by the end of 2021, after conversion at the ST Aerospace facility in Singapore (XSP) by Elbe Flugzeugwerke (EFW)”
https://cargofacts.com/allposts/logi...-second-a321f/ That aircraft is one of the JQbirds, VH-VWY which is leased. Last edited by MarkR; 31st October 2020 at 06:18 AM. |

Coincidentally -VWY is currently at XSP, but based on those above timelines and other sources it’s for a HMV.

JQ’s -VWZ has been up in XSP since 3/1/21, does anyone know if she’s stored, undergoing an extended maintenance visit or P2F conversion?

After reading the latest post on this thread I was trying to find where VH-ULD had its conversion (XSP). I then noticed that the aircraft regularly arrives from BNE and departs SYD to PER, in the early morning hours. Does the A321P2F have approval to operate into and out of SYD during curfew? It looks to be too regular to be a special dispensation.
