180 Aircraft since 2009.... I cant make it.
Including all the Jetstars my best guess:
22 B787’s
70 A320’s (around 35 to JQ Aus) *
25 DH8-400*
10 B737-800*
12 B717
17 F100
10 A330*
Total - 154
* = best guess
Three points on the above:
1. Roughly 35 of these aircraft are operated by Jetstar franchises ie Japan
2. 29 of them were second hand at purchase.
3. Most, if not all of the new aircraft orders were placed by the Dixon era, AJ & co simply went along (or couldn’t cancel)
As far as engagement goes, the very fact that the surveys are not consistently run every year and have changed significantly makes increased engagement a hard claim.
Ms Hudson and corporate Comms have written a puff piece which to me, serves the argument that Qantas now believes its own BS
