I noticed no X3K for the ex-3K

Quite a few missing regos for some reason.
Also a number of the aircraft coming back previously had different VH regos.

It might have been mentioned before, but what is JQ going to do with all this extra capacity? Have they announced and new routes / schedule increases?

As a postscript, it seems I'd held some long forgotten refund vouchers totaling SGD15 from COVID cancellations.

I received an email two weeks ago indicting the funds would be reimbursed to the original MOP by the end of September. Last week I received an email indicating this had not been possible (I presume due me cancelling the credit card last year) and requesting PayPal or BSB&Account info. I chose BSB route and ~$19 was in my account yesterday morning.

Think they are doing some shuffling around AOC's with a view to scrap some F100's in the west.

X3B ex JSK - SIN

It was flown to ASP today

First four VH-X3D/E/L/N now in JQ service.

Looks like Network won’t get getting Jetstar Asia aircraft and they are retiring JQs oldest owned aircraft to Network whilst JQ taking the whole 3K fleet. Lines up with Network getting the aged equipment historically.

VQF and VQM still registered to Jetstar but now painted in QLink colours.

 

[moa999]

9V-JSI has flown to ASP and reportedly be registered as VH-UVT for Network Aviation. Believe it still needs to be repainted

JSL also flew into ASP today, leaving only two JSJ and JSY in SIN.

And then there was one.
9V-JSY flew into ASP today, leaving 9V-JSJ as the last orange star in SIN

Apparently the list of issues, or MEL I think they call them, are quite long on a few of them.

Does JQ have maintenance facilities in ASP or outsourced?

APAS/Aerotech do the work in ASP.

BTW MEL is the minimum equipment list of items that must be serviceable to permit flight.
CDL (configuration deviation list) is different to a MEL and contains details of external components that are not present ie winglets, gear doors etc
