Exercise Wallaby 2025 - Royal Brunei Airlines Boeing B787-8 Dreamliner V8-DLE (with 'RB50' logo) Calls Into Rockhampton Airport as BIG Second Wave of Heavy Jet Passenger Charter Flights Begin!

On Thursday 25 September, the massive (we believe) second wave of heavy jet passenger charter flights in and out of Rockhampton Airport in support of the Singapore Armed Forces Exercise Wallaby 2025 (XWB25) commenced as personnel and equipment were swapped in and out at the end of the first and the start of the second phases of the Exercise.

Royal Brunei Airlines Boeing B787-8 Dreamliner V8-DLE touched down at Rockhampton Airport, flying in from Brunei and Singapore as RBA4215/6.

V8-DLE still wears the airline's 'RB50' emblem, commemorating their 50-year legacy of connecting Brunei with the world.

The Dreamliner was parked on Gate 6 on the Southern end of the Rockhampton Airport parking apron and looked to load a fairly full flight of personnel and their bags.

The Royal Brunei Airlines B787-8 Dreamliner V8-DLE eventually departed Rockhampton Airport to Singapore's Changi Airport as RBA4218.

Information suggests that over the next six days (!) the Royal Brunei Dreamliner V8-DLE will again arrive into and then depart Rocky for Changi at similar times to this flight.  It also appears that a second Royal Brunei Dreamliner will also visit Rockhampton Airport next Tuesday and Wednesday but arriving in the late afternoon and then departing later that evening.
