Very glad they are going with the "Sky Interior"
This will finally bring the B737 up to and probably in-front of the A320 interiors which are much nicer |
Surprised the 737-900ER was left out of firm purchases after all the talk.
But perhaps the 739 demonstrator, if correct, will make some conversions occur. |
The -900 is still out there as dorment order.. On top of that I have found out that the only reason the T7 was not ordered for Dom Ops was the inability of SYD, BNE and MEL Dom Terminals to accept their large footprints. IATA says the T7 will take up 2.4 of their bays and they are not willing to change for us.
DJ is now looking at an infill of an 767/A330 size a/c to allow is to fly 250 ish pax on our trunk routes... One last update from the Coffee Club is that we are ramping up to have about 140 a/c by 2015 ad onwards to 180 by 2017:eek: It's gonna get busy.....:p |
The statement by Virgin Blue also states about their committment to have new seats and IFE on board their aircraft. I just wondering whether they will follow suit of their sister Airline Virgin America to introduce Panasonic eX2 touch screen with an in seat ordering system.
They may become a major threat to Qantas for its new interior and hope Qantas can do something to renew their Boeing 737 Fleet and even get some new aircrafts to replace B763ER before it is too late. |
Renew the Qantas B737 fleet??? Had you not noticed that 95% of their fleet is already NG gear???
And just what is the issue with the B767 fleet that any delay in their replacement might make it 'too late'? |

Qantas has used Gate 43 for SYD-CNS flights on the 742, post AN collapse.
|
Gate 43? It used to be called Bay 11 during Ansetts days
