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.

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.
