Tuesday March 24 was the Q400’s final day of operations in Perth, with VH-LQJ competing a Perth-Geraldton-Perth rotation in the morning and a Perth-Learmonth-Perth trip later that day.
Fire trucks greeted the arrival of QF2429 – VH-LQJ’s last scheduled flight to Perth – just after it touched down at 1759 local time.
