This from page 2 of Financial Review today (22/12)Quote"Qantas has formalised an order for eight more Airbus A380 aircraft on Thursday ,saying it would use the smaller Airbus A330-200 aircraft to fill excess capacity on long haul routes until the French manufacturer delivered the planes in late 2008.
The airline would defer retiring its Boeing 747-400 aircraft to address capacity in the interim."
Says it all really.
