Qantas A330-200 cabin refurbishments

[serfty]

With this refurb now removing those economy front row 23 window seats, it seems now 8 are in that configuration.

Only taken 3 years to start the first one

So if its started then it appears VH-EBG , currently in Singapore will be the first.
All the other 332s that are reportedly getting upgraded (EBL-EBV) are flying.

EBG about to arrive back in Brisbane.

Flew on VH-EBP last week where Economy Plus stickers were already installed...

lol. Good luck to that meaning anything. How many times do you see Y pax still dump a bag in the J cabin bins.

EBG returned to service today on BNE-MNL. Seat map for the return flight is showing its original configuration.

"The A330s will be slowly replaced by a slate of factory-fresh Boeing 787s, with four new 787-9s due in 2028 and the first of six 787-10s – which will carry more passengers over a slightly shorter range – streaming in from 2031"

Why a 3 year gap between 787 deliveries? Did QF stuff up fleet ordering that badly?

12 350-1000s due in that timeframe, as well as the balance of the 12 350-1000ULRs that start arriving 2027.

It was well known that the previous CEO exhibited traits more like a person from Scotland than Ireland when it came to spending money on new aircraft, as a result Qantas are behind many airlines in the aircraft queue.

Seems the list is incorrect. EBQ has just done QF15/16 and has the old configuration. EBO was operating much of late August with the old conduit as well, but has not been used so far this month.

Currently EBR is doing the route and has the Economy plus configuration.
