QF introduced the B747-400ER around 8 years ago especially for the MEL-LAX-MEL route. QF purchased 6 of the type and are the only operator.

The differences between the 400ER and the 400 include greater fuel capacity, a higher T/O weight (19+ tonnes) and more powerful engines.

The model was optimised by Boeing especially for LAX-MEL
