How are they going to get 3 done by the end of the year, or is it 3 will be done/undergoing reconfiguration by the end of 2019.

I thought the A380s which have been in Abu Dhabi recently would only take 1 month to be refurbished?

OQB is out of action for two weeks after an incident in hanger 96 saw a door damaged by scaffolding according to SMH, that’s going to hurt scheduling

Wow clearly someone not doing their job checking that the aircraft was ready for push back out of the hanger as that should never have happened!

Red face Wow!

I wonder if the door came open unexpectedly during pushback out of the hangar or if it was simply never closed before pushback. Either way having OQB out of action for another two weeks will be an expensive exercise!

It was nice of the SMH to give us the registration of the A380 - OQB. Of the remaining QANTAS A380s, OQH has been in DRS since 22/10/19 and OQJ in AUH since 8/10/19. I saw on yesterday's (Saturday) departures board that QF7 had been cancelled. Tomorrow's (Monday) QF11 and QF7 are both listed as operating but QF1 has been cancelled.

Does anyone know why OQK is currently positioning to Perth from Sydney as QF6004?
