ZNK did 5 SYD-SYD flights yesterday, including at around 6.40pm after the worst of the storm had passed.

In summary, 83 sectors over 7 days, comprising ...

ZND : 22 over 3 spread out days including one SYD-MEL rotation
ZNE : 23 over 3 consecutive days including one SYD-MEL rotation
ZNG : 8 on 1 day (after return from SIN Maintenance)
ZNH : 11 over 2 consecutive days including one SYD-MEL rotation (before heading to SIN for Maintenance)
ZNK : 19 over 3 consecutive days including two SYD-MEL rotations

Does anyone know where ZNF is currently? Is it undergoing maintenance somewhere?

[Peter C]

ZNF appears to have undergone Maintenance in Melbourne from 3rd to 22nd September, then it flew to LAX, and has been either undergoing further maintenance or is in storage there ever since.

As a matter of interest there is only 1 789 flying at this very minute 2.30pm BNE time.
It is ZNI doing MEL/LAX.
The rest are:
ZNA in BNE, ZNB, D & F in LAX, ZNC in MEL, ZNE & G in SYD, ZNH in SIN, ZNJ in LHR and ZNK in DRW.

Does anyone know whether ZND suffered any damage in the Brisbane airport tornado yesterday?
It was due to operate QF15 to LAX departing 11:10 AEST. Last time I looked, that flight has been delayed to 22:00 AEST today.

Meanwhile ZNG was positioned from Sydney to Brisbane last night, and is operating today's QF15.

I would presume so Peter. From video footage I've seen she was weathercocked off her nosewheel chocks during the tornado's passing....it was quite impressive (and scary!)to watch.

Does anyone have an update on what damage was done to ZND during the recent storms in Brisbane? Are there any pics of the damage?

Seems delay was to allow ZNI to operate QF94 to Melbourne yesterday, position to Brisbane as QF6019 early yesterday evening, then operate QF15D overnight.

Begs the question, what is the issue with ZNA that prevented it being used for QF15D, as it has been in Brisbane since the afternoon of the 18th?

Sounds like there is a bit going on with the 787 fleet at the moment!
