Direct to Sydney? Earlier ones went via MEL.

Might be one of the extra long leg A332's!

oz-spotters is reporting thus-

[FONT=&quot]Jetstar A330-202 VH-EBQ is currently en-route to Sydney on
delivery as JQ7992 however perhaps more interesting is that the flight
JQ7992 is being operated direct from Toulouse.

Certainly seems good fuel economy even for an empty delivery flight,I didn't realise that the A330 had that sort of range.

IIRC, there is some mod that became available that allowed extra range/payload on the A332's, and this is what Jetstar have opted for. From memory, it made parts of Southern Europe within range of SIN.

Will need to see what engines are on it!

OK - I think the long range A332's had either RR or PW donks, so maybe its not a long range version.

Qantas today took delivery of their 10th Airbus A380 when VH-OQJ Bert Hinkler arrived as QF6024.

They’re going to run out of space to park them soon… although I’m sure they’d rather have them all in the air.

Thanks Nigelinoz

So I guess the quest is on to see who is the first to fly the New Sky Interior QF aircraft....

I'm guessing they will throw it on the longer domestic routes.... Perhaps even New Cal (are they still using a combo of 763/73H's on that route?$...

On please let it be me, I spent so much time on BNE-SYD-MEL runs on 738's.

I just hope I haven't used all my luck getting the DJ BSI 738. :/

Is there a prize for the first person to fly on it?
