QF Perth - Johannesburg on a quad
The whispers about QF (re)commencing PER-JNB-PER appear to gaining some traction, with a schedule released for the JNB-PER sector commencing in mid December 18 for a 4 x weekly service.
Equipment is shown as being operated by A332's. Interesting about the A332's as the ones SAA recently flew to Perth in-lieu of their A343's are rumoured to of taken a reasonable payload hit ex JNB. Either way, it's good to see QF's continued investment in Perth. |

I’ve heard it’ll be crewed out of the east coast A330 bases! :ok: :E :}

What is the EDTO time on those twin rats?
|
There's a project...
|
The rumours I hear are that 240 min is available with an (expensive, of course) update to the FMGCS. Allegedly the budget for that has been approved by the capital outlay optimisation committee. :cool:
|
More game changing
|
Will be interesting to see what the 330 can uplift out of JNB when the southerly blows and the uphill duty runway 21R is in use !
Good luck ! |

Will need a thrust bump outta Jo'burg perhaps... |
What? You mean the crew rest and toilet that we recently paid big money to remove? Say it ain’t so.
Thrust bump...haven’t heard. I know there is a 9 tonne MTOW bump available which would have to include higher thrust given what an underpowered pig it is now. |

:rolleyes: |
Wouldn’t this be ideal for one of those 787-9 options that were just passed up?
4 times a week to SA and the other 3 days a week to japan would be a good start. Anyway at least there’s some new (old) routes being whispered about, which is a great thing for all. |
Keg/maggot and Co,
Do -EBG/L still have still the beefed up donkeys from their LAX-AKL days? Or have they been ‘QF’d’ and standardised in-line with the rest of the A332 fleet? |
Standard AFAIK
|
Seems that the idea may have been prematurely released.

Would love to see a PER-CPT route instead.

Still trying to figure out what sort of quad an A332 is?:hmm:
|
JNB is 6000' amsl and rather warm in summer so commercial need to talk to flight ops first.
With the number of South African immigrants in Perth alone it should be a goer. |
Still trying to figure out what sort of quad an A332 is? 6079 Smith W can attest to this. With the number of South African immigrants in Perth alone it should be a goer. |
