Exercise Wallaby 2018 - New Royal Brunei Airlines Boeing B787-8 Dreamliner V8-DLE Back at Rockhampton Airport

After departing late the previous evening, during the afternoon on Sunday 14 October, Royal Brunei Airlines Boeing B787-8 Dreamliner V8-DLE was back at Rockhampton Airport, again touching down direct from Singapore's Changi Airport but this time as RBA4271.

Again, the Dreamliner touched down and parked on Gate 6 on the southern end of the parking apron.

After unloading and re-loading full flights of passengers and their bags, V8-DLE departed back to Singapore as RBA4272.

Of interest, V8-DLE is the airline's youngest of their five Dreamliners being delivered to Royal Brunei in June this year!

It is believed that V8-DLE will return to Rockhampton Airport yet again on Monday 15 October as the second 'wave' of heavy jet charter flights in support of the Singapore Armed Force's Exercise Wallaby 2018 continues.
