        Qantas One-Time A330-300 Colombo Service in Feb 2026

        ​The Pioneering Spirit of the Kangaroo Route
        Sydney Darwin Singapore Kolkata Colombo Cairo Rome Toulouse London
        By Qantas A330-300 - 3 Feb 2026

        We recreate the historic Kangaroo Route aboard our privately chartered Qantas Airbus A330-300. Following an almost identical flight path as the one Qantas first wholly operated in 1947, ours is a journey born of nostalgia, yet one enhanced by the conveniences of the modern era. Celebrate this milestone event, as we hop our way from Sydney to London, stopping in seven awe-inspiring cities along the way.​

            Heard plans are underway to begin flights to CMB and to MLE onboard their A333 or B789, not sure of the time frame. Will update.

                apparently it's in UL livery, because the last time it was with "Fly gangwon" that didn't sport a flag near the cockpit window(which this has)
                great spotting by you banuthev as well! ​

                Edit-> the text painted also resembles that of UL a/c.

                        as said previously by Haleef​, there's news that 4R-ALT(MSN1060) is dropped due to structural issues
                        MSN1261(A330-243) might take up 4R-ALT eventually, which is currently stored at CHR for pre-delivery work.

                                Great to see. Thanks for sharing. Anyone else spotted or is going to spot MSN 1261? Please do share images. Brings back memories from the days we used to see the brand new 333s. First images were shared on this forum.

                                    HI Haleef, I am planning to visit CHR to spot MSN 1261 especially during the test flight or delivery flight. Does Any body know the dates when test flight and delivery flight planned? so I can book my trip to CHR via CDG.

                                    I tried to get permission to go inside airfield but UL want me to wait until AOC to be completed for MSN 1261. I am still waiting for permission from French Police Force and CHR Airport authorities for plane spotting in CHR.

                                    Thanks Airclub for sharing the photo of MSN 1261 with us. Really appreciated. Looking forward to seeing more photos.​

                                                4R-ALH is inactive for a while now.

                                                is maintenance work completed on 4R-AND?

                                                    Yes ALH is undergoing maintenance.
                                                    AND came out of the A320 hangar 2 days ago. Undergoing final ops check and if the EGR goes well, it will be flying within in this week.

                                                            As of now UL seems to be flying irregularly to TRV - any reason for this?
                                                            Due to Runway Closure of TRV, runway maintenance until 30th March.
