Qantas Airbus A330 Fleet Refurbishment

[Brad Myer]

Seems progress has slowed with the upgrades?

VH-QPD should be out any day now...

[Dennis McLean]

QPD has completed a test flight today off the South East Queensland Coast. QFA 6100 departed at 11.29am and arrived back at 14.07. Perhaps we will see it back in service in the next day or so.

QPE has been repainted so I guess it will be next one to go in. It is currently on its way from SYD to PVG. So back tomorrow then ???? to get to BNE. Perhaps SYD/SIN/BNE Thu/Fri with QPD back on in service Friday on 51 to SIN.

Does anyone know????

[Todd Hendry]

I'm taking QPE to BKK on Friday at present. Things could change but I doubt if.

QPI to be started Fri week.

Interesting the QPI is going ahead of QPE & QPF. Fred is it scheduled to have a repaint after it comes out of the hanger?

QPD is up for another test flight this morning.

QPD departed BNE on QFA 15 for SIN at 12.32pm. QPG which arrived BNE today on QFA 98 from HKG is still here. Perhaps it is due for a 5 day "quickie"?? QPC which came in from SIN on QFA52 today is on the way to HKG as QFA 97

Looks like the 2 A330-200s that Qantas are getting rid of are going to the RAAF as KC30A Tankers

QPG departed BNE for SIN after a 7 day stay today 2 July. QPJ came in this morning from SIN and is still here, obviously for the 5-7 day "touch up". EBB arr. BNE on 8 June and is still here. Seeing the last 332 took just on 1 month to do the conversion, I guess it will be on its way in a few days.

Any updates on the next rego to go for a repaint in Singapore? Things seemed to have gone quiet on the A330-300 repaints as some of them are looking very tired & need a new paint job.
