JQ A330s back to Qantas from next month

[Zac M]

EBR is back today, is EBA next in line, ferried SYD to BNE on Feb 26

[Brad Myer]

I was told EBA is just in for a mx check and will return to JQ service?

EBR straight into service operating QF609 BNE-MEL

[Dennis McLean]

I have heard that EBA will be in maintenance till early May and then go to QF after painting.

[Fred C]

EBA will be back into service with JQ after its current check. EBB will be the next aircraft to have a check then be painted in QF colours.

[Brad Myer]

I'm guessing the rate of A330 transfers will increase with the B763s retirement speeding up?

When's the next batch of JQ 787s due?

[Greg Hyde]

I believe that EBB has been withdrawn from JQ &is currently in Brisbane.

Withdrawn from the QF Group pending sale of for conversion to QF?

Off another forum QF is selling around 3 of these JQ A332's off.

[Brad Myer]

I have heard rumours of the sale of some A332s however nothing was mentioned yesterday at the fleet update presentation.
