A presentation to analysts by chief financial officer Gareth Evans showed Qantas plans to take delivery of 96 narrow-body and 13 widebody aircraft in the next five years. It also has 37 options and 268 purchase rights through to December 2025. It expects to retire up to 37 aircraft in the next five years to bring the average fleet age to 7.9 years.
So they are taking delivery of 109 aircraft and retiring 37 aircraft in the next five years?
A net gain of 72 aircraft?
WTF?
