QF6079 BNE-UVF

[AviationNZ]

I was just browsing FR24, and noticed this flight...QF6079 BNE-UVF.

Didn't even know what airport UVF was, so had to zoom in to see it's St Lucia! Aside from a cargo flight, which still seems a bit random, any other ideas what reason there would be for this flight?

That'd make sense!!

I was really wondering how much cargo or repatriation need there would be between AU and St Lucia...was a head scratcher for me!

That's what I was thinking as well, first game on the 10th July

On Airliners.net there was link to the flightaware tracking of this flight - they also said it was a 'cricket' flight. It seems to be an interesting route - currently they have passed the northern tip of NZ and heading off into the Pacific (17:10 EST)
