I read a one liner quote from QF a while ago & did make mention of it in a post a few weeks back.
I don't have the exact quote, however it was something like.
OTHER ADDITIONAL JQ franchises in Asia are being put on hold as they concentrate on JQ Japan & Hong Kong.
I believe this is why so many other A320's are on order. For offer JQ franchises in Asia yet to be announced.
Just like having aircraft ready to go for JQ Hong Kong. They have ordered aircraft for other ventures yet to materialise in Asia.
