A quick check on FR24 shows that only HS-TQA and B have been flying in the past 7 days until today, however none of the other 4 have been up in the past 7 days.

Things can get pretty grubby looking quite fast in SE Asia due to warm, humid weather. usually the maintenance folks will place covers or special barriers on/in the various systems which have points of entry to the aircraft (especially pitot/static systems) so bugs don't start settling in - but the airframe just needs a good wash probably!

Good to see the 789 back to AKL though, I have booking in Apr, and probably in Sep.
