I can see the conspiracy theorists jumping up and down:

"New Qantas plane broken, needs propeller engine to fly"

VH-ZNM has commenced revenue service, operating QF93 Melbourne to Los Angeles.

[James Smith]

VH-ZND is scheduled to depart PUS this morning as QF6020 to arrive this evening in SYD for preparation to operate the inaugural QF3 to AKL and JFK tomorrow morning.

[Rowan McKeever]

ZNL currently taxiing for 34R departure as QF3 to AKL and JFK.

Is it correct that QF3 can only refuel in AKL?
And cannot pick up passengers?

Qantas can and do sell seats AKL-JFK, the open skies agreement allows Aussie airlines to operate ex NZ just as it allows NZ to fly from Australia
