Still waiting for 333 to start BNE-CNS-NRT but more likely it will start MEL-NRT before that route. But wait, loads are poor on PER-NRT so why no just give the Melbournians the plane instead
QF dropped the BNE-CNS-BNE of QF69/168 a while ago it now ops CNS-NRT-CNS only.

The A333s that ops PER-NRT-PER are alos tied in with the morning PER-SIN-PER service so thats why PER-NRT get the A333s.

Not sure why they did it for five months and then pulled it off.
So BNE-SIN-BNE QF51/52 could go A333.

I am guessing they put on the A333 for capacity reasons, besides IMHO the A333 may be too big for the MEL-NRT route given that QF179/180 doesn't operate everyday (used to be a daily service) currently. This suggest that QF might have difficultly to fill a B763 daily, let alone the bigger A333.
QF179/180 MEL-NRT-MEL goes back to daily B763s this month.
