For what reason does QF persist on hanging onto the A380 fleet while every other carrier in existence signed 10 year leases and is walking at year 10?
Why does the QR/SQ strategy of short term high turnover lease agreements not seem to apply to QF?
I understand all the tax and depreciation issues we face here, but surely they would still be better off handing back the keys at the ten year mark and write off subsequent losses. It’s the 10-20 year mark that seems to be financially and operationally destructive.
