CIT aircraft actually, but yes both have been operated by Qantas. EBH has already been returned to CIT but EBI is still flying with Qantas.

Does anyone know why QPA is operating domestically today flying the SYD-PER / PER-SYD rotation? Not sure why this is as I would of thought it should be flying only on the International sectors given its got the new refurbished cabin. QF35 today was operated by QPH a non-refurbished 300. I thought Qantas was focusing on Singapore as a priority for the refurbished 300's but yet one of them is operating a domestic sector......something doesn't sound quite right here!

You need to look at the big picture, not just flights in isolation and make those kind of conclusions.

BTW it is coming back as QF6112, which is also unusual, so must be a good reason why it did QF581.

QPA operating SYD-MEL this morning... Quiet possible they're exposing the new business seats to a market that would otherwise miss out on trying it out.

EBK has been on the ground in Melbourne for a few days now, is that it for her with JQ?

From jetstar source...

Jetstar A330-200 VH-EBK was withdrawn from service at Melbourne this morning after arriving as JQ8 from Singapore. The aircraft will now be prepared for a return to QANTAS mainline. This brings the Jetstar A330-200 fleet down to two aircraft.

VH-EBK is currently in a holding pattern as JQ 7990 inbound to BNE.

I don't think this is the main reason as refitted A332s have operated on SYD-MEL flights for a while although there is no fixed pattern as to which flight gets it.

Travelled on QF497 in June and scored a refitted aircraft. Made the upgrade to J worthwhile.

333s are not generally in the schedule for SYD-PER over NS2015 so high chance of it being a sub I would say
