ricky and kiwi, I mean that QF NB might want to augment his chart based on the current news. Otherwise I was at JFK for the QF incident.

Was browsing the Qantas Inflight Entertainment guide yesterday and was happy to read information with regards to Entertainment-On-Demand (AVOD). It said that 12 747-400s now have the system.

I've only got 10 aircraft with AVOD on the list... Time to find the other 2!

VH-OJP will be back in service within the next few days, with AVOD fitted.

VH-OJB, -OEG and -OJQ will have AVOD by mid-October.

Very unlikely, at this rate, Qantas will have the AVOD system rolled out across the 744 fleet by January 2007.

I see that an ex Qantas 767 has or is being "Googled"

LINK

A process that is clearly not going very smoothly

Flew on OGL yesterday PER/MEL (the Australian livery made it stand out a bit), and was not in the Intl config.

All ex AO aircraft are now in 2 class domestic 30J config.

This includes both OGL and OGV.

beno, when did -OGV undertake the configuration change? Happen to be JUN 18-29? :confused:

Post # 1 has also been updated... Your information is much appreciated quazor!

Changes include:

• VH-QOE - Recently named 'Emerald'
• Updated information regarding the 2 remaining BAe146s
• Jetstar International - planned fleet
• Changes to domestic 332 fleet
• Update to Qantas NZ/Jetconnect fleet

If you spot any mistakes, please feel free to Email/PM me or post them here. Also any suggestions on how Post #1 can be approved (new info, colours etc) would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

When are ZK-JNF/G being withdrawn? No more business seat on QF in NZ :( (coincidentally NZ has a few more int a/c running domestically these days so improved odds of business seat).

I'm hoping the 734s will replace them... I notice that the WLG-SYD route is sometimes served by a 734. That route has always had a 733 with 8J.

Jetstar Fleet
 

I just noticed that on the Death :-: site when you select aircraft type it showed up as an A320-100 :confused: Internal designation as I am sure these aircraft are A320-200....ok too much of an aircraft geek there.... :)

VH-OJB recently emerged (Friday) with AVOD installed and is currently performing crew training flights. The aircraft will be back in service within the next week or so. -OJB extends the list to 4 two-class 747-400s that now have the AVOD system (out of 7 aircraft in total).

QantasLink took delivery of their latest Q400 VH-QOF last night. The aircraft is expected to be placed into service within the next 2 weeks.

KF, plan is for sometime later this year.

If I remember correctly, QF won't be adding any more 737-400s to the Jetconnect fleet until early next year.

Regards

Post #1 updated

Jetconnect 737-376 ZK-JNF (which was withdrawn from service on 28/08) ferried from Christchurch to Melbourne today. Jetconnect now only has 1 733 (8J/112Y) with Business Class (ZK-JNG), with the remaining 733s being configured all Economy (130Y).

Qantas 747-400E/R VH-OEG is scheduled to be back online on the 8th September with AVOD. The next aircraft to be fitted with AVOD (VH-OJQ) isn't scheduled to receive the upgrade until early October - and Qantas still say it will be fitted across the 744 fleet by January 2007 :rolleyes:

Rumour: JQ to receive even more 332s (that is, in addition to the 6)... TBC

That's all for now, Cheers! ^
