Default 737 mystery flight?

Hi,
FlightRadar24 is currently showing a 737-800 scheduled for BNE-MEL tomorrow in their weekly routes. However, there is no flight number and it doesn't appear on the BNE departures for FR24/FlightAware. The operator shows up as "ZYB Lily Jet", which is the name shown when FR24 isn't sure which operator the actual flight is (often seen for Nauru, REx, or freight charter flight numbers).

Is this a glitch, ferry flight, or something else? Attached below is all the information about the flight that FR24 is providing.

Date: 19/07/2024
Operator: ZYB Lily Jet
Type: Boeing 737-800 (B738)
Origin: Brisbane (BNE)
Destination: Melbourne (MEL)
Departure: 11:11
Arrival: 13:11

You can find this by looking in the FR24 weekly routes for both BNE and MEL.

Looks like a test/dummy callsign

No problem! If you're interested in special movements in and out of Brisbane I would suggest joining Facebook groups for planespotting out of Brisbane/Queensland. Usually someone will post about interesting movements and it's a great way to meet new people and see others' photos
