All QF Rolls Royce engines are now GT standard and all ZX 767's are HT standard.

Correct it needs the extra 10,000kgs of fuel avail in the ER. Not to mention the GE economy.

Mick

The ZX's were leased for seven years. They were supposed to go back to BA in 2007. They were then leased for a further seven years. They will probably be the last 767's to go in 2014. :eek:

...and may they stay in service as long as possible! They are a very nice aircraft.

Erik H. Bakke 31st August 2009 04:09 PM

And they've certainly got roomier seats than the B738s... I'd choose the B767 any day.

767 qantas
 
Is it true that soon qantas will remove there 767 from fleet? If it is, how long 767 will be in fleet more.?

Jack B 29th January 2010 08:53 PM

From what I've gathered, 787 delays means that some 767's could be in the fleet well over 5 years from now.

I believe I read elsewhere the ACE 767s may well be the last in the fleet, as QF extended the lease on them?

Owen H 29th January 2010 10:28 PM

My guess is that the 767 will be around for either 3 years, or a lot longer than 5 years. There is nothing wrong with the aircraft at all, and can easily be kept flying for a long time. Remember the youngest aren't particularly old at all.

Until there are sufficient 787's in the fleet to replace them, the capacity is needed. And I can't see Qantas Mainline having 20 787's within 5 years. There are some regulatory issues that need to be addressed for 767's to fly beyond 2013, and assuming that is done, they'll stay for a while.
