Jetstar looking at selling 3 dreamliners

[MarkR]

Jetstar will cancel 10 per cent of its flights in January and is considering selling three of its long-haul aircraft as it comes to terms with the financial cost of an industrial dispute with pilots and ground crew.

The budget airline said on Monday it was adjusting its schedule, as flagged by The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald, to manage the risk that Australian Federation of Air Pilots members will strike through its busiest month of the year, amid a stand-off over wages and conditions.

I thought the 787s were owned by Qantas and only operated by Jetstar.
Do they actually own any of them?

[MarkR]

They have a mix of QF and foreign entity owners, regardless selling three would get the liability off their books re Opex, not Capex

Maybe could Qantas make use of the three 787-8's?

[Brenden S]

Interesting.

Wasn't there talk of the B788 returning to QF when the A321neos arrived ?
