QFA332 and SQA350 at ROK today?

[bertflyer]

Hi all, just waiting on our flight to BNE at ROK today and saw a QF A332 depart followed by the arrival of a SQ A350 soon after. Neither listed on the info boards… anyone know what’s going on?
Only regular flights to/from ROK are BNE and Mackay.

Military charters, perhaps?

Years ago, I noticed Rockhampton on the display as I passed one of the gates at Changi. I did a double take at the time (this was the mid-noughties).

SQ have been operating flights to ROK for years, they transport Singapore Defence Force members (and National Service conscripts) for training and/or joint exercises at Shoalwater Bay.

Exercise Pitch Black 2022 is on at the moment.
While mostly centred around the Top End, you can expect support movements of domestic and foreign defence personnel around a number of bases.

QF is operating 3 SIN-ROK services

Thanks everyone, that would explain things!

SQ used to send the 744s in ROK on Military Charters back in the day. Was quite the sight.
