Qantas Airways to Announce A$20 Bln Fleet Order Today (Correct)
Dec. 14 (Bloomberg) -- Qantas Airways Ltd., Australia's biggest airline, will today announce its order for new planes, valued at as much as A$20 billion ($15 billion).

Chief Executive Geoff Dixon will hold a briefing at 2 p.m. in Sydney, the company said in a statement e-mailed to Bloomberg.

Qantas in August said it may buy new aircraft including Boeing Co.'s 787 and Airbus SAS's A350 to fly short international and domestic routes. Boeing and Airbus have doubled their 2005 orders from the previous year, helped by rising demand in Asia for more fuel-efficient planes.

Qantas's current fleet of 207 planes is made up of Boeing's 747, 767, 737 and 717 models plus Airbus's A330s, A320s and Dash 8s.
