Qantas A380 Update

[Brad Myer]

Hi all,

5 of the current 7 A380s are in service, with VH-OQA awaiting repairs in SIN, and VH-OQC still awaiting new engines in SYD.

Does anyone have any updates on when VH-OQC will be back in the air?

And does anyone know when the next 2 new A380s (OQH/OQI) will be delivered?

And finally any news on a LAX service return date?

Cheers

[Oliver Gigacz]

OQI is likely to be delivered first, due to a delay on OQH. OQI at the moment is scheduled for mid Jan delivery, with OQH to follow in late Jan or early Feb. (subject to change)

Is there any information about the plans for the A.380 at Singapore, VH-OQA.
Will it fly again, and when. Who is going to repair it, and who is going to pay for the repairs?

At 2343 SYD Time VH-OQC was on Planefinder listed as FLT NO ENGRUN
Would this be correct that it was doing a Eng run at this time of night?.

It had 2 engines missing last time I saw it this evening, and it wasn't parked in the run bays.

Thanks Nigel
Thought it was strange that it was on plane finder.
It kept kept changing heading and speed while I was watching the screen.

QF6024 tracking down the Italian coast on flightradar24.com. Not showing Rego but Hex Code 7C4928. Sydney arrivals shows this in at 1550 tomorrow routing TLS-SIN-SYD. Anybody know if this is VH-OQH or VH-OQI?

It was reported in another thread that it is VH-OQI
