New QantasLink Dash-Q400 Next Gen VH-84P (ex C-GWEG) First Revenue Flight into CQ at Hervey Bay (Fraser Coast) Airport

On Sunday 14 September, recently delivered QantasLink Dash-8-Q400 VH-84P completed its first ever revenue flight, and it happened to be into CQ, with it touching down at Hervey Bay (Fraser Coast) Airport as QLK2380/1 from and back to Brisbane.


It then completed a run to Rockhampton Airport also from and back to Brisbane. VH-84P looks to be due to complete flights into Emerald and Longreach Airports again on Monday 15 September.

The second-hand Dash-8-Q400 is the seventh of 12 (or 14) aircraft that the Qantas Group has purchased from Canadian operator WestJet Encore. VH-84P previously operated as C-GWEG and operated with the airline from March 2015 until April 2024.



The Dash-8 arrived into Australia via Brisbane on Tuesday 9 September, still wearing its Canadian registration marking of C-GWEG, completing a delivery flight from Canada across the Pacific.

It was promptly placed on the Australian Aircraft Register and also given the name 'Mount Isa'.
