Qantas Group A330 Changes

[tourismman]

From a old 744 route which became a A330 route 2-3 years ago and soon will become a 744 route once again..How you Southerners forget about the Sunshine State.

Looks like the QF press release has been corrected:

Mr Joyce said an A330-200 will be added from January with a further five B737-800s being progressively added to the domestic network from March 2011.

Must be the new domestic A332 due at the end of the year.

Thanks

EBO? Isn't EBJ being sent to Jetstar so that's not really an increase more a replacement?

[chockchucker]

As for only five 737-800's being added from March next year, that doesn't equate with the fact that Qantas will be taking delivery of 14 737-800's next year (and another 14 in 2012)


Where are all the others going? Jetconnect?

Classic retirements?

[cynphil]

Chockchucker.....extra 738's to replace aging 737 Classics, so no increase in unit numbers!!

[dizzylizzy]

They won't start retiring the 734's just yet...

Myerflyer - answer to your Q:
the extra 330 capcity arises from 744 being deployed on China routes for the Northern Winter Season. IASC application for capcity increase lodged this week

[Capt Kremin]

Rumour going around that the 744 will do all the NRT services during Northern winter.... makes sense I suppose.

[stubby jumbo]

nah......lets treat the Japan route with the usual contempt that QF is accustomed .

Bring back..... VH-EBY,EBX-quick refit, spruce up !

[Capt Kremin]

Why is that question posted on a thread about the A330?
