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.

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?

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.
