I’m guessing it is heading to Bangkok to take up as JQ30, was held at Osaka for quite a while hope they have got to the bottom of the dual engine fault.

Sorry looking at wrong date jq29 was nearly 9 hours late yesterday into Bangkok but is on time today so 787 ex Osaka is not going to Bangkok, currently just north of Taiwan at 43,000ft

Landed at Hong Kong parked in holding area south west corner of airport not at terminal assume flying daylight hours only test flight and will move elsewhere tomorrow just a bit strange as Jetstar Australia does not service Hong Kong so not sure why it would fly there unless airport had maintenance for 787 if needed?

Jetstar sends their 787’s to Hong Kong for maintenance regularly.

Any word on the cause? Fuel contamination or a problem with the engines or combo?

I hear the engine does some fancy stuff to keep alight at low power settings.

It is supposed to do that, its the demo climate change EEC software update that incorporates the BMW start-stop technology. The engines turn off instead of idling to safe on fuel, noise, and emissions.

And that is the $64,000 question, it can’t fly to Narita but it can fly to Melbourne.

Don’t think I’ll be putting the family on VJK until I see the report that’s for sure. The fact it’s had six weeks between similar failures doesn’t bode well.
