After Rare London – LA Flight, Qantas’ A380 Fleet To Soon Return To Full Strength

Simple Flying

Qantas is on the verge of having its entire Airbus A380 fleet back in commercial service after a rare ferry flight sent one of the grounded superjumbos directly from London Heathrow Airport (LHR) to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) over the weekend. VH-OQG, which had been stuck at Heathrow since early July awaiting an engine change, flew as flight QF6007 from London to Los Angeles on July 11, an unusual routing for an aircraft that typically shuttles between Sydney, London, and Singapore rather than crossing the Atlantic and Pacific in one movement.
