It later called back into Hervey Bay Airport again from and back to Brisbane as QLK2380/1 before it then positioned down to Canberra.
The second-hand Dash-8-Q400 is the fourth of 12 (or 14) aircraft that the Qantas Group has purchased from Canadian operator WestJet Encore. VH-84F previously operated as C-GJWE and operated with the airline from December 2013 until April 2024 when it suffered a tail strike on landing at Calgary in Canada.
The Dash-8 arrived into Australia via Brisbane on Friday 25 April, still wearing its Canadian registration marking of C-GJWE, completing a delivery flight from Canada across the Pacific.
It was promptly placed on the Australian Aircraft Register and also given the name 'Horn Island Ngurupai'.
UPDATE! On Thursday 8 May, VH-84F was back in CQ and completed a flight to and from Bundaberg Airport.
