Until they receive more, 2 are on order for next year which will likely be deployed on MEL-SYD services again

I have read it somewhere can't remember where that VA intend to deploy more widebody capacity on the SYD-MEL route as they can't easily add more frequency as both airports are facing slot restrictions at peak times since an aircraft up gauge 737 to 330 is warranted to grow the marketshare for VA.
