The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an Airbus A330-900, then departed from runway 27 at Melbourne International Airport (YMML). The takeoff distance was 1,636 meters, which accounted for 72% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 157 knots.

As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it started its enroute climb 1 mile south of Bulla, in the state of Victoria, Australia. The climb took 22 minutes and covered a distance of 140 nautical miles, with the aircraft rising from an altitude of 404 meters above sea level to 11,806 meters above sea level, an increase of 11,401.3 meters.

The enroute level cruise began 12 miles west of Burrumbuttock, in the state of New South Wales, Australia, and lasted for 53 minutes. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 480 nautical miles. The cruise altitude was maintained until the aircraft started its enroute descent 17 miles south west of Baryulgil Airstrip, also in the state of New South Wales, Australia.

The descent took 26 minutes and covered a distance of 151 nautical miles, with the aircraft decreasing its altitude from 11,646 meters above sea level to 1,014 meters above sea level, a decrease of 10,632.5 meters. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, this time starting 4 miles north west of Tangalooma Airport, in the state of Queensland, Australia, and lasting for 3 minutes. The cruise distance covered during this period was 10 nautical miles.

The final descent started 5 miles east of Scarborough, in the state of Queensland, Australia, and took 2 minutes to cover a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft descended from an altitude of 913 meters above sea level to 399 meters above sea level, a decrease of 513.6 meters.

The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 19R at Brisbane International Airport (YBBN), approaching from the north east at a heading of 207.0 degrees and at an altitude of 392.4 meters above ground level, 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 19R, which had a length of 3,308 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 140 knots.

The touchdown distance was good at 422 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 137 knots. The touchdown rate was good at -0.8 meters per second. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.3 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius.

The total landing distance was 1,179 meters, which accounted for 36% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. After landing, the aircraft took 8 minutes to taxi to the parking area, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 795 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 123 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 10,944 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
