Exercise Wallaby 2025 - Royal Brunei Airlines Boeing B787-8 Dreamliners V8-DLA and V8-DLD Both Call into Rockhampton Airport

On Friday 31 October, two Royal Brunei Airlines Boeing B787-8 Dreamliner aircraft called into Rockhampton Airport to transport personnel and equipment out of Rocky as the Singapore Armed Forces Exercise Wallaby 2025 (XWB25) quickly draws to a close.


After not being seen for a little while, Dreamliner V8-DLA returned to Rockhampton Airport, touching down direct from Brunei as RBA4277.  It later departed to Singapore's Changi Airport as RBA4278.

Later, fellow Dreamliner V8-DLD also returned to Rockhampton Airport, also from Brunei but as RBA4289 before it later too departed to Changi but as RBA4290.

Both V8-DLA and V8-DLD are expected to return to Rockhampton Airport on Saturday 1 November with more visits expected the couple of days following.

This will then see the conclusion of final 'wave' of passenger charter flights supporting Exercise Wallaby 2025.

The next significant movement expected into Rockhampton Airport after this would be the return of the Antonov AN-124 to collected the four The Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF) Boeing AH-64D Apache helicopters.
