Qantas Sends Regional Jet On Epic Round the World Mission But it Will Soon Be Broken Up For Spare Parts For Delta Air Lines
Qantas is sending a regional jet on an epic round-the-world trip, but the 17-year-old Boeing 717 aircraft may soon end up being broken up into spare parts to keep Delta Air’s own fleet of ageing 717s running.
The Qantas Link 717 that’s currently flying around the world is set to end up in the Victorville airplane boneyard, but the direct flight between Australia and the southern Californian desert is slightly beyond the 717s maximum range of 1,570 nautical miles.
