Would these not be leased? I thought the 3K fleet was owned by QF and leased to 3K

I assume we have a charter HNL-MEL next week then?

6001 was a Brethern charter last year I recall, SYD-AKL. Considering the costs involved pulling it off a revenue service, crewing, these flights have cost a motza. Certainly must be more worthwhile for QF compared to operating a normal service otherwise why bother, so no doubt in the millions...

Keep the SQ Cabin found it quite good.

Lessor for these was Deucalion who previously leased A330s to Virgin so I can probably see why they wanted nothing to do with VA again so gone elsewhere. QF should have been more proactive with picking up 737 leases over the past decade. Rex and Virgin have picked up some good mid life aircraft...

Air NZ Bring back the blue.

Looks weird without the longer wingtips. Feels incomplete without them 🤣

Would they still have the E190 on the AOC? Last flight was 2018. I assume they still have a whole pile of manuals and other docs floating around which will no doubt assist with entry.

More on this. Who is the investor again? https://australianaviation.com.au/2025/08/exclusive-yes-we-have-planes-says-koala-airlines-ceo/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR6XGTmm9r5mFivUj_aXsZVvF8vBQBXvr1mkhVK-vY2JEdrnV0oZDkO6BbLbiw_aem_EvSTde2KcCKnQDpmq9kCDg

I believe when they kicked off Jetstar was only 3 per week and A320. They have now moved to 4 weekly and 321N, essentially doubling seat count, plus they introduced the connections CNS-DPS via Melbourne which is daily. Way too much capacity if you ask me. I think AirAsia would do ok with the...

MEL-SIN-MEL canceled Thur. I don’t know why are cancelling from this week as they cap out at 8 or 9 departures per day from Australia, the fleet is 11 with one in HKG. VKK might be the next one with issues as seems to be stuck in Melbourne.

Third party agents are generally not across these finer details and are prone to give the wrong info, especially at an out port.

Likely too much capacity as Jetstar previously have come and gone on the route, they have just put a A321N on the route which increased seat count very recently.

VKG might be the first getting the heavy check alongside cabin upgrade. Unless it’s unexpected urgent maintenance. They did state Jan 2026 but that might be when it returns to ops. Still in HKG.

VKB is now back in operation after a week grounded, repositioning HKT-MEL and back in service operating MEL-BKK.

Didn’t get that one here.

Someone on the self serve next to me the other week won $5. No doubt these promotions are somewhat built into pricing anyway, it’s never free, marketing budget still comes from somewhere. 100 million customers per month chances are probably pretty slim.

No doubt will be a good video for training departments to use!

I had a classic reward JQ MEL-HNL once and they put me on QF via Sydney when it got canceled. It appears only selected people got transferred to the QF flight, it still went out pretty empty also. My other party on the flight on a cash fare didn’t get a transfer. Same Balance sheet between the...

Interesting reading that, Alan Milne who was the Skytrans boss is the owner. It looks like he no longer works at Skytrans. Could this perhaps take on some of the Rex routes?
