Australian airlines, by geographical necessity, specialize in long-haul travel.
Hardly! Only one has a real International arm. Coincidentally it's the one of the that elected to use B747's and A380's. Of the other two, one uses B777's the other B787's they were given by the airline that elected to use the B747 and A380 and which has suddenly realised they are the wrong aircraft, and has "discovered" the B787. Looks like the one that really specializes in long haul travel took the longest to wise up.
