MTOW upgrade?

A332 VH-EBA returned to service last night, 13/9/21 when it operated QF7325 from SYD-MEL. With EBNs test flight last week this leaves just it, EBB and EBD still to return to service.

A332 VH-EBN returned to service last night, 16/9/21 when it operated QF653 from SYD-PER. This leaves EBB and EBD still to return to service.

QPA went to DRW earlier today under a 6xxx number, now operating QF110 back to Sydney, presume more vaccines and maybe some Howard springs returnees.

That switch seems to have been to allow 789 ZNC to head back to the UK as QF109 (a Scheduled Repatriation flight)

Dash 8-300 VH-TQM resumed service with QLink on 23/10/21, after it returned from its stint in NZ with Jetstar in December 2019, and subsequent storage at TMW. It had maintenance carried out at CNS and repainting into the QLink scheme at TSV prior to re-entry.

VH-TQL is currently under maintenance in CNS prior to repainting and return to service with QLink.
