4. Qantas (Prefers not to bid for this tender I am guessing for political reasons)
I am pretty sure QF are not on the panel. Skytraders and Corporate Air Canberra are the other operators, along with some brokers.
Strategic previously used HiFly A330-300 which would have had same cargo capacity of the A340-300. One would think that the change to the -200 and the lower capacity was done in agreement with Defence, so it does seem strange if this is the reason they lost the contract.
