Qantas has flown its first Airbus A380 to the Californian desert. A few hours ago, VH-OQE arrived non-stop at Victorville (CA) from Melbourne as QF6001.
The airline is planning to put all of its twelve A380s in deep storage in the coming weeks. Earlier they said they would be flown to Mojave (CA), but it now seems to have become Victorville (CA).
Qantas has said to keep the aircraft there until at least 2023 and might not even bring six of them back into service.
Bizarre that they send them to the Californian desert rather than the bloody big one in the middle of their country. I can only conclude that airfields such as Alice Springs must be short on space for storage.
