Does anyone know what the 1 x B787-9 for Qantas delivery in FY24 is? My understanding was that they didn't have any on order until FY27. Is this a cancellation from another customer or frame which is no longer needed by another airline?

We can only hope, but we all know QF doesn’t have the initiative to lease in additional frames to support growth to the network.

-ZNN was delivered in the FY24 period, at the end of July 2023 so although it’s a bit of the smoke and mirrors it’s technically correct.

With no new widebodies coming online until FY27 QF Intl aren’t really going to see any growth, the way the A380’s are shuttling back and forth between AUH and then spending weeks there, I very much doubt we’ll ever see anymore than 8 in actual service at any given time.

Maybe of interest (Published July 2024)
