Qantas boosts international capacity, wet lease Finnair aircraft

And it appears the wet lease is over
OH-LTM flew SYD-BKK-HEL as AY8902/8904 on 29-Mar-2026 and re-entered AY service on 2-Apr
OH-LTS flew SYD-HKG as AY8906 on 31-Mar-2026 and has presumably gone to maintenance.

The two dry lease aircraft painted in QF colours VH-QPK/QPL remain.

Also no movement on OH-LTN from DXB, The rumoured QF purchase.
We had Qantas plane on 31 March from Bangkok instead of the Finnair plane we had on way over.
