Qantas International changes

Not meeting the criteria for the Apr-Jun changes and deserving of a thread of its own is the changes Qantas are making to their "international" services to/from AKL.

Monday 05-July-2010 sees QF141 SYD-AKL change from the scheduled Jetconnect operated Boeing 737-800 to a Qantas Mainline Airbus A330-200.  This change is effective Mo-Sa with the Sunday flight still operated by a Boeing 737-800.

Monday 05-July-2010 and Tuesday 06-July-2010 see QF114 AKL-SYD operated by Boeing 747-400 aircraft as they are phased out of operations.  QF114 will then be operated by Airbus A330-200 aircraft Mo-Sa, with the Sunday flight remaining a Boeing 737-800.

These changes are in order to facilitate the aircraft changes required for QF25/26 AKL-LAX-AKL that will from Monday 05-July-2010 be operated by the Airbus A330-200 replacing the incumbent Boeing 747-400.

Aircraft will operate the following routing SYD-AKL-LAX//LAX-AKL-SYD  QF141/25//26/114 - 5 days per week the aircraft will operate LAX-JFK-LAX as QF108/107 giving those days/aircraft a QF141/25/108/107/26/114 round trip.

It appears with the exception of Sundays that the Jetconnect operated Boeing 737-800 that arrives in SYD as QF44 overnights as currently, then remains in SYD all day before operating QF113 back to AKL.
