Seems its an F1 charter with the next leg NGO-LHR.
Suzuka race was this past weekend with Australia's Piastri actually crossing the start line and finishing 2nd after leading for 1/4 of the race somewhat unexpectedly.

Given the Japanese F1 has just finished I suspect it's taking staff back from race. With Bahrain and Saudi both cancelled the next is Miami on 4 May so a fair gap giving teams time to head home.

After VH-OQD lands in Nagoya, QF301 is scheduled Nagoya to London Heathrow for a 12:40pm departure tomorrow (Mon 30th Mar) landing Heathrow 7:10pm. Looks like it's then coming back 30th as QF32 a special one off from LHR-SIN-SYD which is available for sale on the QF website.
