The last unserviceable B788 VKL has just departed MEL for DPS on its return to service. Co-incidentally, of all the recent Jetstar unserviceabilities this aircraft spent the longest out of service being repaired following its lightening strike on 7/5/22, nearly 5 months.
So yes Greg, the eleven Jetstar B788s are now all operational.

You spoke too soon!

JQ57 cancelled. Another 300 angry pax.

Something must be broken.... again.

How does JQ plan on squeezing in the new ICN flights that start in December when they can't even operate the existing reduced schedule?

Hopefully they will have a couple of more NEO's on line by Dec.

Interestingly it was VKL that was meant to operate that service, and normally JQ57s aircraft goes onto operate to Mel as JQ44 while the Melbourne aircraft operates JQ58 back to Brisbane, today JQ44 and JQ58 are showing as cancelled. That’s 600 passengers stuck in paradise. Doesn’t bode well for my return trip later in the week, there has been zero availability for weeks ex DPS to Australia for flight until Oct 16.

JQ43 also cancelled.

It seems that techs from Boeing were used to assist in the carbon-fibre repairs on VKL.

From the QF Fleet thread:

That would suggest the cancellation was staff related rather than tech, makes sense when you have just the one service a day.
