When you say visit soon Stefan, are the 330s replacing the 744s or are we getting the 380s, or have I totally embarrassed myself and that is a freighter.

Tony,

It is a pax aircraft. A330's currently operate all services to BNE, ADL, MEL and PER.They will start Sydney services from March 2013 operating MH141/140 replacing the B777.

The A380 replaces the B747 on MH123/122 in November.

Hi Jarden,

I dont know I was just relaying information I saw on a website however it did say "pre service modifications to be carried out in Perth, before then continuing onto Brisbane." So I'm guessing BNE based like the rest of the fleet?

Dom,
