SO bascially no 787's for the QF group until 2013
the first 15 will go to Jetstar in 2013-2014 then the next 15 smnaller 787-8's will go to QF to replace 767's in 2015 with the last 20 due after that. I wonder if any more 332's that are excess to QF will move over to JQ? |

With JQ expanding services and QF contracting it would probably make sense for the spare A332's to go over to JQ.

It looks like Dixon got out at the right time alright.
It seems Qantas is copping it from everywhere since then (economic recession, swine flu, maintenance issues, US-Aus competition, dodgy 330s) leaving it up to Leprechaun Joyce to sort out. It seems decades ago since the halcyon days of the 787 orders. By the time QF/JQ get their Deamliners, there'll already be a bunch (hopefully)flying around these parts (NZ immediately comes to mind with their 9ers being the first of the new model) |

As the 787s are planned for routes including European cities such as Rome and Athens out of a SE Asian hub, I was wondering what the range out of say Singapore would be towards Europe with a 332? How far northwest of Singapore would they get? Could JQ continue their expansion plans initially without 787s (if economic conditions recovered) or would they wait?

Does that take into account ETOPS? |

How many more A330's does the QF group have on order?

I don't think ETOPS would be a problem between SIN and Euro destinations. Most of the over water flying would be over the Bay of Bengal, with plenty of landing options in Malaysia, Thailand and India.
There would be a few airports along the normal routing that you wouldn't want to land in now days (eg Afganistan), but in an emergency I suspect you are a little less picky, and able to find military support.

Isn't ETOPS only an issue if flying over long stretches of water or uninhabited land? Don't think that's the case between SIN or BKK to Europe.
