Qantas A332s

Jim M · #1 9th March 2009, 12:59 PM

With the delivery of VH-EBL not too long ago, just wondering whether or not there are any more A332s to come for Qantas, or is that it?
Apologies if it has been covered elsewhere/previously

Hi Jim,

I think that is it for now.

It will be interesting to see if they keep them in international config, given the routes they were flying on (PEK/BOM/PVG/NRT) have either been dropped or moved to 333 equipment.

it owuld probably make more sense to convert them to domestic and get the 333's all on international again (ie not having int config 333's doing PER's)

Are all QF A332s in international config?

Thank you.

Thank you.

Two, EBJ and EBK are domestic, the reset (excluding the Jetstar a/c of course) are international.

There are no more A330s on order for QF.

I would think the int'l config A332s will remain in that configuration and this will allow for the remaining 763s to be removed from the int'l fleet. They will either go to domestic or be retired.

According to Aviation Letter (Dec'08); A330-202's 1061 & 1094 are listed as CIT Leasing Corp/Jetstar Airways.

Not directly related to the QF query but of interest.

How many 763's still fly Int routes ?

SYD-HNL-SYD being one of them, would be nice to get a REAL QF A330 on this route

What are the other routes still flown by the 763 ?
