First Qantas A220 revealed

[RooFlyer]

Really happy to fly down from BNE on an A220 yesterday, nice surprise and upgrade from a 737 which I’m sure was originally scheduled when I booked ages ago.

So that's where it went!

Boarded VH-X4A 2 hours late - Wi-Fi inoperative so all good news so far.

Flew on X4A last Saturday MEL/LST and same thing - delayed at least an hour and Wi-Fi also inoperative then too. At least we made it — the flight the evening prior was cancelled all together.

A220 being withdrawn from LST in March and it looks like HBA as well, both will see a mix of E190 and 737 replacements.

…to free up frames so my DRW-SIN flight can operate, right?!

Nothing in the schedules yet but this is hardly surprising.

Of note, MEL-LST tentatively switches from 2x daily A220 to 4x daily Q400 at the end of October.

So much for fleet renewal. But I guess lucky they won't be Q400s or Dash-8s.

Oops. Typed too soon. What a shambles.

Rumour has it DRW-SIN still starting as planned on March 30th but will be a 737 route until October (unknown date)

Looks like it's been removed from sale for the time being.

2 X SYD-HBA return rotations cancelled today, not sure if lack of crew or serviceable A220s.

It’s fairly unreliable

My understanding is there’s more than enough crews but not enough aircraft

Looks like X4E went tech in LST.

It was supposed to operate QF1512 to MEL, but was delayed for a couple of hours before being cancelled.

Has there been a delivery date for the next batch of A220's X4F, X4G etc?

X4F is reportedly due around April.
