QANTAS Fleet and Operations

[C Patters]

Any updates on when both EBD & QPH will return to service from maintenance both are currently in the Brisbane in the hangers?

VQR is on its way to Townsville for paint.

EBD will apparently be later on this year.

It appears the main cargo door has been installed, and must be moving to a different hangar for the remainder of the work.

Does anyone know when EBF will be returning to service after its cargo conversion? It had a three month jump on EBE's conversion, being in DRS since 10/11/22. It must be close to being completed.

I think the media release said August and September on the ASX.

Does anyone know what is happening with OQD which has been in SIN since 2 June??

[James Smith]

Flightaware is showing A380 OQJ as operating to AUH as QF6015 this morning at 10:00 local. This is probably for maintenance as OQJ has been refurbished. It could mean that the A380 in AUH that is due to return in July could be flown back to SYD with today's outbound crew. Otherwise QANTAS could be short of A380s to operate their current schedule with OQD still in SIN and OQL not refurbished.

Dennis, I presume that OQD is in SIN for maintenance.

Hi James, thanks. OQC has been in AUH 21/6/21, OQA since 18/11/22 and OQI since 25/2/23. I wonder which one it might be coming next.
