VH-RQG is currently flying from WGA to MEL as ZL9913 and is due to land at 16:42 local. I guess this means that the engines have arrived.

VH-RQG is currently holding at 41,000 feet. As it is a non-RPT flight it mustn't have any priority to land in MEL and is waiting for a gap in the traffic.

VH-RQG touched down in MEL at 17:12 after flying 516 miles on a 227 mile direct flight from WGA. The flight time was 1 hour 11 minutes.

REX has announced that it is commencing services from Sydney to Canberra on 19/4/21, initially with Saab 340s operating seven return flights per day, with the scope to upgrade to B738s during the morning and afternoon peak hours according to demand.
