One that is used for one off flights as regular passenger transport, as opposed to ferry or charter numbers. Last time QF187 flew it was six months ago Syd-CHC. It might well be extra capacity for school holidays/end of golden week utilising a commercial flight with the aircraft then being towed to Haeco.

I believe ZNG is there for maintenance, the flight has been scheduled for a little while?

Thanks Michael, good to see QF at least getting some revenue from the flight.
