Last time one checked, flight operations do not buy aircraft. There may be many places people dream of sending these jets, but they are simply that, dreams.

Given the corporate stiffs at fort fumble, have committed a few of the measly aircraft order to east coast and USA flying the rest of this is pure conjecture, right up there with Red Q.
Are Qantas media are writing press releases to be distributed through Pprune?
