Jetstar's 1st B787 - Page 35

Must be a real nightmare with the staff at Jetstar scheduling, with aircraft going or not going plus aircraft withdrawn from service and new aircraft being put into service, and not forgetting the tech and cabin crew.

VKL is now shown on All Things 787 as a delivery date of 30 September, previously 31 August. So with MEL & BNE due to start HNL 787 services on 14 September, how is it going to happen if VKL does not get here until 30/9 ?????

Jetstar Boeing 787-8 VH-VKK entered service this morning operating an additional Melbourne – Denpasar service as JQ1035. This operated in place of yesterday’s JQ35. The aircraft then operated an additional Denpasar – Melbourne service as JQ1058 in place of yesterday’s JQ58.

VH-VKK just landed at Sydney Airport

Greg, just as a correction, VKK flew DPS-BNE after her JST1035 flight, as JST1058 arriving around 21.20 last night. She positioned down to SYD as JST7992.

I was at the Boeing factory today. VKL is currently the first aircraft at the front of the production line. So should be ready soon, just needs a shiny coat of paint.

VKL is scheduled to roll out of the FAL in the next day or so, and delivery is scheduled for mid to late September.

VH-VKL (36238) was added to the Aus Register on 31/07
