Qantas to secure new planes from Airbus, Boeing
(Reuters) -Australia's Qantas Airways on Thursday announced an order for 24 widebody aircraft, the final piece of the company's jet fleet renewal programme, and said the move is aimed at replacing its current Airbus A330 and Airbus A380 aircraft. The multi-billion dollar order is split between 12 Airbus A350s and 12 Boeing 787s, which will arrive from fiscal 2027 and into the next decade, Qantas said. As a part of the deals, Qantas will gain access to up to 500 million litres of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) per annum which would start to flow from 2028.
