Speculation from an earlier thread is now official.
No more Wunala or any other Qantas 747s as of July 5th Australia time. This probably means the last one will leave Australia on July 4th, arriving at JFK on the 5th.
JFK service reduced to 5x weekly, all on two class A332.
This is a major cut in capacity, about 1075 seats weekly.
Will update with final flight info as it comes in.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.
I trust you are not in too much distress. —Captain Eric Moody, British Airways Flight 9
RATS. Thats the worst news we can ever hear as spotters. No more Wunala :cry:
So wait doesn't this mean that they will have a fre A330's based in LAX then? I mean the A330 can't do YSSY-KLAX or can it? :shock:

I doubt she is retiring anytime within the next year. Yea they are replacing their 747 fleet but Wunala will be the last one to go. But were losing her before that. I hope they send her in again before they shift to these busses. I would love to see a 3rd Dreaming. I would lvoe to see it on a 747-8 but sadly Qantas doesnt have any orders in for the 747-8.
not yet, but I think it will be in there future when the program is fully developed and stabalized. I think there fear was a similar 787 delay saga happening to this program as well.

I was looking at the Qantas Schedule for August. It shows a mix of A330 and 747 service for NY.

Phil as a birthday gift to you, you can have some of my Wunula shots ;) LOLOL Interestingly enough I've captured her plenty of times but never at JFK.
Phil, unfortunately the only A330 scheme is a -200 in the OneWorld colors.
The schedule will be as following:
They way it will work is QF25/26 will be an A330 to LAX from AKL and QF107/108 will be a 747-400 to LAX from SYD.QF107 LAX0900 – 1725JFK 332 x24
QF108 JFK1855 – 2210LAX 332 x24

Phil has been playing too much hockey! Glad I got her twice at JFK. Hey official post your Wunala pics hijack time!
Was great that I didn't even know she was coming.

NLovis, do you have a source that Wunala would be LAST to go??
and TOM, you ARE getting old. You did catch Wunala with me, your first time on the ramp.
And I, I took the path less traveled by
and that has made all the difference......yet...
I have a feeling a handle of people are going to be very interested in what I post in the near future.
