Qantas 787

[James Smith]

Here is the timetable I have drawn up from the Jetstar schedules for the domestic B787-8 flights:

From 1/6/21:
JQ432 MEL 8:00 - OOL 10:05; JQ437 OOL 11:35 - MEL 13:50; *JQ434 MEL 16:15 - OOL 18:15; JQ447 OOL 20:20 - MEL 22:35.

From 25/6/21:
JQ944 MEL 6:30 - CNS 9:50; JQ947 CNS 11:20 - MEL 14:45; *JQ950 MEL 15:20 - CNS 18:40; JQ943 CNS 20:10 - MEL 23:35.

From 1/7/21:
JQ952 SYD 7:30 - CNS 10:35; JQ957 CNS 12:05 - SYD 15:00; JQ424 17:05 - OOL 18:25; JQ419 OOL 19:55 - SYD 21:20.

I presume all these flights are daily.

* From 25/6/21 JQ434 & JQ950 swap aircraft to allow sufficient time for the stopover which is generally 1 hour and 30 minutes.

There is also the ability to rotate aircraft in OOL before the last B787 flights of the day leave for MEL & SYD respectively, meaning that the flight arriving from MEL can go to SYD and the flight from SYD can go to MEL.

If you know of any anomalies or corrections, please post them, including any other domestic Jetstar B787 flights that may also be flown.

ZNE is currently en-route Darwin to Istanbul, Turkey as QF113 for first Qantas 787-9 visit, albeit Covid repatriation related.

Jetstar B787 VH-VKH returned from OOL to SYD on 25/5/21 as JQ7997. In addition, VKI conducted a 19 minute test flight from MEL on 17/5/21 as JQ7997 and VKL flew from SYD-OOL-CNS on 17/5/21 as JQ7998 presumably for crew training.

Sorry for not noting the rego, but I noticed one of the 789s departing SYD-PER yesterday morning, although their use on the route was only flagged as "about to commence" in this morning's media.

Kent, B787-9s operated QF645/648 SYD-PER-SYD on Monday (24/5/21) and Tuesday (25/5/21) of this week and is due to operate today and tomorrow (26&27/5/21). VH-ZNB operated the flights on both days and is due to operate today's flight. B738s have operated the return service up until last Sunday.

VH-ZNE is due to operate tonight's (26/5/21) QF1250 Lunar Eclipse scenic flight SYD-SYD. It operated a DRW-IST-DRW repatriation flight on Sunday and reposition DRW-SYD last night.

[James Smith]

The QANTAS 787-9s are getting some decent contract work. I flew on ZNF on the second Chimu Southern Lights flight on 15-16/5/21 and there were six flights in total, I understand. It was a brilliant night.

Qantas 787-9 VH-ZNI is enroute Brisbane to Colorado Springs [COS] - reason ?

[Greg Hyde]

It's a ADF charter to pickup ADF personnel that have been training at a military base near Colorado Springs
