QantasLink / Cobham 717-2BL VH-YQS
What's happened to this aircraft? Hasn't flown since 11th February 2019? FlightAware says it's parked at YBBN.
|
It’s in CBR for a check. |
Looks like a loaded question Zhootoo. |
Annual leave. |
Maybe someone lost the keys? |
7 Feb 2008 sistership VH-NXE had a 3.6g hard landing in Darwin that bent the fuselage and required extensive repairs. Aircraft was out of revenue service until 17 May 2008 = 100 days.
Same aircraft was the last bird in Canberra Heavy Maintenance 29 Jan 2019 to 14 Feb 2019 = 16 days And sistership VH-YQW 24 Jan 2019 to 30 Jan 2019 = 6 days VH-YQS is 93 days and counting...... |
Apparently a couple of 717s have some pretty major wing corrosion issues. Perhaps this is one of them?
|
If that's the case Hawaiian Airlines might need a close look at their's.

Might not be a lot of motivation in CBR. KGI refueller mentioned Qantas have pulled the pin and have gone offshore somewhere.

Are you suggesting engineers are shirking their responsibilities because of a shift in maintenance contracts? Wouldn’t that be extremely unsafe? |
102 days and counting. Must be some check!
|
LOTS of patching on the wing due corrission, little Birdie saying that Boeing is concerned and getting involved
