Qantas has withdrawn one of its Airbus A330-200s, VH-EBC, from passenger service this weekend and seems destined to be broken up for parts at Alice Springs. Delivered in March 2003 to Qantas, it operated the domestic Cityflyer routes between the main cities of Australia. It was transferred to Jetstar Australia in 2006, where it was affectionately dubbed the albino as it was the only Jetstar A330 to remain in white and not receive the silver paint job that the other aircraft got. Qantas took Bravo Charlie back in 2014 once Jetstar had taken delivery of most of their Boeing 787-8 Dreamliners, which were purchased to replace their A330 fleet. The pictures range in date from 2004 to 2023 and were all taken at Sydney Airport
