Aircraft order numbers
With many airlines buying aeroplanes, can anyone add what they think they know? What type and how many?
All I know is that Virgin have some 6 or 7 B777's on the way, and Qantas/Jetstar have the new B787 dreamliner coming.
Cheers all

Qantas/Onestar:
20 A380's 2008-2014 replacing 5 B743's and a number of B744's
65 B787's 2008-2014 replacing 29 B767's (more B787's are almost certainly going to be ordered)
8 A332's (additional aircraft)
5 B738's (may be additional or replace a few B734's -currently B737 fleet is 53 aircraft but that is expected to grow significantly)
7 A320's (in addition to JQ's existing 24 A320's)
Virgin Blue:
9 B738's (may be additional but may replace aircraft whose leases are about to expire)
3/16 Embraer 175/195's (additional aircraft)
7 B773 ER (additional aircraft - enough for a twice daily op to West Coast USA)

Right, YET is the operative word here. By the time the last of the 380s arrive in 2014 quite a few of the 400s (most?) will be 20+. The 380s are not growth machines (not in A/C #'s anyway). The vast majority are replacements although not YET acknowledged as such.....

Heard Manning was down telling the AustralianAirExpress boys that they would be getting a sh!t load more 737 freighters of the 400 variety and to probably expect international flying in them.
Where would they be going?
Who is going to do the conversions?
I hear the present conversions aren't too flash!
What's happened to the 737 freighter in Cairns?
Heard it might as well be a write off after a moderately firm landing!
Time will tell!
