They are slated to start MEL-PER services earlier then Oct.
Daily MEL-SYD-MEL as well. But you won't see them anywhere but PER from the east coast (inc BNE) during 2012. As mentioned, XFA and XFB are due for a heavy check/upgrade, after April so the fleet will be 1 down for a few months. |

Oliver XFC fues sections didn't arrive in TLS last week, it should be out of the paint shop by now, it was assembled without an interior or engines hung in late December.

Hard to say down - it's more like one new A330 enters service, allowing an old one to go into mx and retrofit, and then repeat. Full fleet won't be operationally ready until after April. |

My uneducated guess is that gate 13 on the opposite side of pier F would be a candidate, but it appears there will need to be quite some work, particularly in regard to the dual taxi way set up between pier E and F. See nearmap to see what I mean. |
