Haven't been able to catch any of the 747s flying between sydney and perth just yet, but have noticed that they seem to have dropped off the roster! Any one have any idea if they're going to be back on this route in the foreseeable future? or have I just missed the boat completely :(
As far as I can recall the SYD-PER Boeing 747s were part of a larger fleet shuffle to free up pilots for training on the Boeing 787s on their BNE-MEL runs before the start of MEL-SFO and BNE-LAX-JFK. Now that those international Boeing 787 services have started I don't think we will see the jumbo doing east-west runs again, but you can never say never!

We’re down to 9 747s now, I don’t think we’ll see domestic routes for a little while unfortunately.
