Does anyone know if some of the -400's will be used to relace the classics when the Dugong arrives? Or will there still be a shortage of airframes for some time to come after that?
I believe that the plan was to replace the B743s on the Mel/Per & Syd/Per routes with A332's (2 new ones from Toulouse & 6 returned from Jetstar) in domestic configuration, however, these plans may be in disarray because of the delay in delivering the B787. It's looks like the 6 A332s will stay 6-9 months longer at Jetstar and it's also possible that the 2 new domestically configured aircraft will initially go to Jetstar. These are in addition to the 4 internationally configured A332s that are currently being delivered to mainline.
