Also I just read that when the 'dry lease' arrangement comes in the aircraft will then be painted in a Qantas livery and then under the Qantas AOC.
I think Qantas wanted the dry lease from day one, but finnair wanted their crew to operate for the first two or so years.
Flight numbers will be:
• QF291, Sydney-Singapore
• QF292, Singapore-Sydney
• QF295, Sydney-Bangkok
• QF296, Bangkok-Syd
Also this:
The aircraft being used under these leasing arrangements have been reconfigured in the past year with latest-
generation onboard product - new seats, inflight entertainment (IFE), lavatories and other cabin features were
fitted as part of the reconfiguration program.
The inflight food and beverage offering will be provided by Qantas. Finnair crew will undergo Qantas service
training and operational support will be in place to support onboard service delivery. Pillows, blankets, amenity
kits and IFE content would also be provided by Qantas.
