Qantas on verge of multibillion-dollar decision to replace domestic fleet | pwhatch
Qantas boss Alan Joyce has firmed up 2020 as the year the airline will make a multibillion-dollar order to replace its fleet of short-haul aircraft which operate its domestic network.
Qantas chief executive Alan Joyce confirmed in an interview that he intended to place a multi-billion-dollar order with either Boeing or Airbus by the end of 2020 to renew its short-haul fleet over the next 10 years."The replacements are not needed until the end of the next decade, the 2020s, but given how fast aircraft are filling up you need to make a decision, we think, in 2020," Mr Joyce said.
Airbus is struggling to get short-haul aircraft out of its European factories fast enough to meet delivery schedules, while Boeing has slowed output of its best-sellingduring a worldwide grounding of that aircraft now stretched into almost its eight-month following two fatal crashes.
