The Qantas Group has announced plans to take four additional wide-body Airbus A330 aircraft, on six-year leases, to allow for Jetstar’s long haul international growth.
Qantas Chief Executive Officer, Alan Joyce, said the first A330-200 aircraft would be delivered in November 2010.
“A key component of the Group’s growth strategy is its significant fleet renewal programme,” Joyce said. “We currently have more than 160 aircraft on order over the next 10 years, including 50 Boeing 787s for operation by both Jetstar and Qantas.”
Jetstar currently operates a fleet of six A330-200s. This will increase to seven in December 2009 and grow to 11 with the delivery of these new two-class, 303-seat aircraft.
