Tight market makes it difficult to source widebodies
Have not seen any outbound charters ex Sydney today or yesterday so I am wondering where they are coming from, or is QF going to put A380 OQA into early service??

I understand a 747 was due to depart Sydney this morning, and an A333 is being sent up as well.
(They don't have any A380's to put into service at the moment, and I would assume that even when they do get it, there is some certification work to do before they put PAX on it)

Charter flights dont have the same requirements as RPT flights do when it comes to certification (which probably explains why they have a worse record when it comes to accidents).
I was just wondering why no charter traffic is showing outbound to Beijing but we have two inbound flights provisioned, the chances of the A380 operating are low given that its not yet on the register of course but it would be a great marketing coup!

Re: Olympic Charters
Actually the planes should already be here (in Beijing). The Aus team is due to leave at around 4pm today (Bejing time). so those planes wouldn't even be there in time.
They are due to arrive in SYD at about 6-6.30am tomorrow according to the press release.

Wouldn't need to be in Beijing that far ahead of time. As far as I can tell it was VH-OJH that was on its way to Beijing at 6.30 am this morning.
The 333 will be coming from Hong Kong.

Tonight's news said that the Gold Medalists were given 1st an Business class seats, I wonder if they did it by Ballot for the 1st class as there were 20 gold medalists [14 medals plus 2's and relay 4's].

markis10,
That is correct however in this instance the RPT certification rules would be the ones that apply and not the charter rules.
