A332 VH-EBL Delivery?

[Ben O]

Hi,

Anyone know whats happening with EBL?

She was due for delivery in DEC but I havent seen or heard anything.

The original plan was for a QF Intl config, but have heard could be Domestic config or even JQ?

Evening Ben!

Going by the following photo, it appears -EBL will be a QF bird:

I reckon it could be in INT config - lets finally get rid of 767's from long haul flying!

Hi Ben, VH-EBL will be an International Config Airbus A330-203. It is expected in Melbourne on December 14.

Could replace the last remaining B743 services between SYD-PER.

Not in INT'L config.

The only A332 scheduled to PER during JAN-FEB are the 2 domestic ones.

A daily A333 also ops SYD-PER-SYD midday departure.

There is no sign of any additional A332 flying international or domestic.

Last time I looked Perth-Sydney was a domestic flight. They only ever had international configured aircraft one a handfull of flights, so why the big deal?

The 332 should come off the AKL-LAX route soon - that would mean 2 x 332's are to be utilised.
