Sunday 23 August 2020 sees QFd operating just two turboprop flights from MEL - QF2283 to LST at 1150 hours and QF2158 to CBR at 1615 this afternoon.
There wouldn't have been too many Sundays during the past 20 years when QF did not have a single jet conveying passengers from Melbourne Airport.
Subsidiary JQd is by contrast exceptionally busy with a mammoth four flights scheduled - one each to ADL, HBA, SYD and TSV.
Competitor VA 2.0 has just a single flight - to BNE at 1700 hours, the last scheduled passenger domestic flight from MEL today.
Notably there are no MEL to CNS or PER flights, nothing to MQL (so go on V/Line that has a typical three-four rail-then change to road coach trips a day including one overnight), no flights to MCY or OOL and as expected nil to ASP, BME, BNK, CFS or DRW. Strange that there's a JQd flight to TSV but not CNS, although TSV has many defence personnel.
As has been the case for a few weeks, ZL is a non-starter on Saturdays or Sundays: no ABX or WGA flights, but one can still travel to Wodonga (though not Albury) on V/Line road coaches as trains, like ZL, were cancelled.
