The Boeing plane was again overturned by Airbus

Qantas switches to Airbus aircraft for domestic flights. That means Boeing planes will be replaced.

In addition, the company has the option to bring an additional 94 machines to Australia. The devices are said to be delivered between 2024 and 2034. The company describes it as ‘the largest order for aircraft in Australian aviation history’. As a result, Boeing aircraft such as the 737-800 are being removed from the Navy.

Qantas plans to allow these flights to fly between major cities and major regional routes during off-peak hours. With this, the company is increasing the number of flights. Brad & Whitney’s GTF engines also offer fuel savings of 15 to 20 percent.

Qantas delight in Airbus order

Contract conditions will also be favorable in the long run. “The deal with Airbus had the added benefit of keeping the order flexible, meaning we can continue to choose between the entire A320neo and A220 families, depending on our growing needs in the years to come. The ability to combine Jetstar and Qantas orders for the A320 was also a factor.
