Geoffrey Thomas, AirlineRatings.com Editor-in-Chief appeared on Channel 7’s Sunrise to discuss the Qantas mega Airbus order.
Domestically, Qantas will start the renewal of its narrow-body jets with firm orders for 20 Airbus A321XLRs and 20 A220-300s as its Boeing 737s and 717s are gradually retired. The first of these aircraft will start to arrive in late 2023, with the order including purchase right options for another 94 aircraft for delivery through to at least 2034.
Internationally, 12 Airbus A350-1000s have been ordered to operate non-stop flights from Australia to other cities including New York and London.
