Qantas back to SFO
Yeap, its happening.
From July this year the QF73/74 is going back to SFO. Flights are now loaded into Amadeus. 3 class 744. |
What with?
There are no spare aircraft...?
Great news if true though! Maybe the Dallas flying has freed up the 747's? |
2 x 744's coming out of VCV. Announcement in the next week or two.
|
CX has decided to keep our 400's longer now the fuel is cheaper.....
Maybe QF have too? |
2 x 744's coming out of VCV. Announcement in the next week or two. |
Great news if true qfguy, but even if the schedules are loaded in Amadeus the availability has not become live in either Amadeus or by crosslink to Sabre.
Maybe no regulatory approval yet? Best all EWL |
The other rumour once again is Berlin. The funniest part of all this is that they are paying people a years pay in redundancy to leave with the last people leaving I think in July and they will then have to start training on the aircraft. What a great transformation plan!!!
|
How many more are they going to repatriate to restart AKL-LAX?:)
|
If a route like this is profitable with a resurrected 400 now, imagine how much money QF could make with a new wide-body twin!! :ok:
|
No schedules or availability are loaded in Amadeus for SYD-SFO, and as QF is an Amadeus Altea user, it would be the first GDS to show them.
|
Maybe this will solve the OJA problem?
|
I don't think OJA has been a problem. I think that bird has saved the day on the final farewell tour since late last year.
They need extra aircraft for what a friend calls 'ORG SLACK'. Hilarious as the 744 fleet is known as International Rescue. OJQ, OJR etc are a quicker fix than waiting for orders that are not even activated. How did it get to this in the first place? :ugh: |

Buckshot that is so funny. I'm a twit as I just wrote the 2 rego's before S and T. LMAO!
Thanks for the message and pic!! I should look before I post. God to think that was scrapped!!! Which ones are preserved. I seem to remember OJO was ok? Back to school for me! Thanks again :{ |
And doubt very much SFO will happen at all.
Maybe wishful thinking? |
Maybe the leased 777s that are on their way will cover the SFO flying? :};)
|
If they go back to SFO, maybe they can be extended into Canada somewhere, isn't the new board member Canadian?
Make sense if it was to the East though and not just up to YVR as Canadian are doing the non stop from YVR to SYD which is better than a YVR-SFO-Oz service. How are the loads on the SYD-YVR service during the ski season? Maybe they could keep that service going? |
-OJR was one of the first if not the first 744 to be disposed of as it was leased and the leasing costs were rumoured to be astronomical.
|
Any more word about possible SFO services?
