Qantas orders six more Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners
By David Flynn, May 2 2018
Qantas will today announce an order for six more Boeing 787-9 jets, bringing the total red-tailed Dreamliner fleet to 14 in number.
The first of these additional 787-9s is due to arrive in late 2019, with a rapid delivery of all six by mid-to-late 2020 – just in time for the airline's 100th anniversary in 2020.
Qantas CEO Alan Joyce tips that with the new Dreamliners "we’ll be looking at destinations in the Americas, Asia, South Africa and Europe."
Paris and Germany have already been pencilled in as likely European destinations.

The six new Boeing 787-9s will sport the same seating and configuration as the first eight.
Dreamliners in, jumbos out
These additional Dreamliners will allow Qantas to retire its remaining ten Boeing 747-400 jumbo jets by the end of 2020.
Qantas currently flies the ageing and fuel-thirsty jumbo jets to the USA (and seasonally to Vancouver), Asia, South America and South Africa, with some of those routes to be taken over by the Boeing 787 and others handed across to Airbus A330s.
"This really is the end of one era and the start of another," Joyce remarked.
"The jumbo has been the backbone of Qantas International for more than 40 years and we’ve flown almost every type that Boeing built. It’s fitting that its retirement is going to coincide with our centenary in 2020."
“By the end of 2020 we’ll have farewelled the 747, finished upgrading the cabins of our A380s, and welcomed our fourteenth 787."
The airline has not advised where the new Dreamliners will be based; the first order of eight jets was split four-each between Melbourne and Brisbane.
Is this the sweet spot for Qantas' Boeing 787 fleet?
Qantas' second tranche of Boeing 787s is drawn from a total 'orders and options' book of some 45 Dreamliners, although the airline is not expected to take up all of those due to changes in where it will use the Boeing 787s.
The size of the initial order, which stretches back to 2005, reflected Qantas’ intention to have the Boeing 787 replace the Airbus A330 on domestic routes.
However, Joyce has previously told Australian Business Traveller that he no longer plans to put the Boeing 787 onto domestic routes.
"Our thinking has evolved... while the 787 as with the A330 are pretty powerful they are over-spec'd" for domestic flights, "so the economics do not work."
Instead, Qantas will revamp its domestic fleet from the mid-2020s with either the advanced Boeing 737 MAX or the Airbus A320neo and the yet-to-be-built mid-sized Boeing 797, which would also pick up some flights into south-east Asia.

another," Joyce remarked.</p> <p>"The jumbo has been the backbone of Qantas International for more than 40 years and we’ve flown almost every type that Boeing built. It’s fitting that its retirement is going to coincide with our centenary in 2020."</p> <p>“By the end of 2020 we’ll have farewelled the 747, finished <a href="https://www.ausbt.com.au/qantas-to-upgrade-a380-business-class-seats-to-new-business-suites" target="_blank">upgrading the cabins of our A380s</a>, and welcomed our fourteenth 787."</p> <p>The airline has not advised where the new Dreamliners will be based; the first order of eight jets was split four-each between Melbourne and Brisbane.</p> <h3>Is this the sweet spot for Qantas' Boeing 787 fleet?</h3> <p>Qantas' second tranche of Boeing 787s is drawn from a total 'orders and options' book of some 45 Dreamliners, although the airline is not expected to take up all of those due to changes in where it will use the Boeing 787s.</p> <p>The size of the initial order, which stretches back to 2005, reflected Qantas’ intention to have the Boeing 787 replace the Airbus A330 on domestic routes.</p> <p>However, Joyce has <a href="https://www.ausbt.com.au/qantas-almost-certainly-won-t-order-all-45-boeing-787s" target="_blank">previously</a> told <em>Australian Business Traveller</em> that he no longer plans to put the Boeing 787 onto domestic routes.</p> <p>"Our thinking has evolved... while the 787 as with the A330 are pretty powerful they are over-spec'd" for domestic flights, "so the economics do not work."</p> <p>Instead, Qantas will revamp its domestic fleet from the mid-2020s with either the advanced Boeing 737 MAX or the Airbus A320neo and the <a

It’s fitting that its retirement is going to coincide with our centenary in 2020."</p> <p>“By the end of 2020 we’ll have farewelled the 747, finished <a href="https://www.ausbt.com.au/qantas-to-upgrade-a380-business-class-seats-to-new-business-suites" target="_blank">upgrading the cabins of our A380s</a>, and welcomed our fourteenth 787."</p> <p>The airline has not advised where the new Dreamliners will be based; the first order of eight jets was split four-each between Melbourne and Brisbane.</p> <h3>Is this the sweet spot for Qantas' Boeing 787 fleet?</h3> <p>Qantas' second tranche of Boeing 787s is drawn from a total 'orders and options' book of some 45 Dreamliners, although the airline is not expected to take up all of those due to changes in where it will use the Boeing 787s.</p> <p>The size of the initial order, which stretches back to 2005, reflected Qantas’ intention to have the Boeing 787 replace the Airbus A330 on domestic routes.</p> <p>However, Joyce has <a href="https://www.ausbt.com.au/qantas-almost-certainly-won-t-order-all-45-boeing-787s" target="_blank">previously</a> told <em>Australian Business Traveller</em> that he no longer plans to put the Boeing 787 onto domestic routes.</p> <p>"Our thinking has evolved... while the 787 as with the A330 are pretty powerful they are over-spec'd" for domestic flights, "so the economics do not work."</p> <p>Instead, Qantas will revamp its domestic fleet from the mid-2020s with either the advanced Boeing 737 MAX or the Airbus A320neo and the <a href="https://www.ausbt.com.au/qantas-ceo-increasingly-bullish-on-the-boeing-797" target="_blank">yet-to-be-built mid-sized Boeing 797</a>, which would also pick up some flights into south-east Asia.</p> <p><strong><a href="https://www.ausbt.com.au/qantas-ceo-increasingly-bullish-on-the-boeing-797" target="_blank">Read: Qantas CEO increasingly bullish on the Boeing 797</a></strong></p>" $url = "https://www.executivetraveller.com/qantas-orders-six-more-boeing-787-9-dreamliners" $type = "NewsArticle" $comment_count = "74 Comments" $linkToProfile = trueinclude - APP/views/news/view.ctp, line 222 View::_render() - CORE/cake/libs/view/view.php, line 736 View::render() - CORE/cake/libs/view/view.php, line 431 Controller::render() - CORE/cake/libs/controller/controller.php, line 909 Dispatcher::_invoke() - CORE/cake/dispatcher.php, line 208 Dispatcher::dispatch() - CORE/cake/dispatcher.php, line 172 [main] - APP/webroot/index.php, line 92

As usual, QF way behind many other airlines that have younger fleets in some instances, and better service on board from staff who really want to serve passengers, particularly the multitude of Asian airlines like CX JL KE OZ PR SQ.

Oh come on that's just ridiculous. I've done Qantas business class on international flights and the service is perfectly acceptable and competitive. The food is a bit better than Cathay for one (Tosca is a great restaurant but the Tosca-branded Octopus Terrine that Cathay served me on a flight from HK was basically the food equivalent of the Necronomicon, and had sufficient tentacles to live up to that reputation), and they have pajamas on night flights from Asia which is pretty rare. The booze is absolutely at the Business Class standard and the newer lounges are very nice and competitive.

Well perhaps you should explore a few more forums. Try QF FB and have a nice long read through there and see the Neli Perry food reviews and perhaps have a look at some of the photos of what people have been served or nor served on Dom and Inter.

I don't need to explore a few more forums. I've eaten quite a bit of Qantas food. Is it "truffles and foie gras", no of course not, but Neil Perry's food is perfectly good. Modern Australian is a nice cuisine. Would I prefer classic French bistro? In some cases yes. But Qantas is not the flag carrier of France, and Neil's food is perfectly nice.

Wow!

I've been eating meals at the front end on QF, SQ, CX, JL, EK, EY, QR, BA, IB, LH, AF, AA, DL and others for many years and with such butt-numbing regularity that I feel confident in saying I have not seen a deterioration in the standards of QF meals.

They are not flight attendants (FA), they are cabin crew and their primary function is for your safety, as is the flight crew and ground crew. The way they provide in flight service is secondary and QF is pretty awesome at both. In the early days QF cabin crew had to be qualified nurses

That’s exactly right, Qantas does exclude the 717, but claims of the fleet being old like above are being incorrectly made such as a recent S&P report was found to include the 717 in there calculations which distorts the fleet age. An average fleet age of 10.6 with the aging 747’s about to be retired is not an a bad spot to be in.

It's stated in the S&P report that they calculate fleet age as per each carrier's measure of age....so they calculate age the way Qantas has.

A key difference though is that CX and SQ do not have domestic routes as such. I accept that CX is operating from SAR to mainland China, so some may regard that as 'domestic' but it's not like what in recent months has settled down to become a more cosy duopoly in Australia (bearing in mind that the LCcs are subsidiaries of QF and VA.)

Makes a big difference when your biggest source of revenue is a domestic market where you own 65% market share and 90% of profits. South East Asia has become one of the most cutthroat intense markets to compete and the fact that SQ is still able to make more profit than the other carriers in the region (even more than QF international) with a higher cost base than their competitors shows that they are doing extremely well considering the circumstances.

I'm not usually a fan of such terms but it was a simple way to refer to the very narrow seats in Y that are found on almost all airlines with this aircraft. Unlike JL, QF has chosen not to be more generous in seat width in Y to passengers.

No doubt QF will need more of 787s. A fleet of only 14 is still relatively small compare with other airlines, especially QF doesn't have 777. For QF to consider new routes and retiring 747 at the same time (and ultimately A380), they'll need at least 30 787s IMO. Of course less than that if they take delivery of 777-max.

Not all Boeing 747s will be swapped out for Boeing 787s, and the replacement for the Airbus A380 is more likely to be the likes of the Boeing 777X.

Some routes the 747 flies on are well within the range of an A330. Indeed some routes have both 747 and A330 on them at the moment depending on where the demand is. Those routes will likely switch to A330 only.

There wont be 10 747s by the time these additional 6 787-9s arrive. Most likely 6, however even 6 787-9s for 6 747s is a large reduction in seat count. Further how can they be 747 replacements and support new route development at the same time ?
20 May 2015
Total posts 586
QF are chasing yield over market share, so a net reduction in seat count isn't a huge problem for them. In addition, they can upgauge through frequency... SYD - SCL/JNB/YVR are likely to become more frequent, even daily services rather than the 3-times-weekly or seasonal services currently operated... and this in turn helps boost yield since business travelers like daily-or-greater frequencies.

If QF goes with the 787 for SYD-SFO, perhaps with greatly reduced capacity out of SYD, QF will be able to increase MEL-SFO services to daily or close to daily.

Doesn't Qantas have ETOPS issues to consider when flying the 787s to South Africa & South America?
Something about CASA only approving twin engines for 180mins?
Or has that restriction been relaxed?

787 engine issue only related to 787 that is fitted with Trent 1000 engine. QF 787-9 and Jetstar 787-8 both uses GENx engine. So they are not effect with ETOPS rating.

That is completely incorrect. Yes, FAA has reduced ETOPS on Trent1000 engines. However CASA does not allow ETOPS above 180, which seriously hinders 787 operations for Australian carriers to Africa and South America. The 787 is rated for ETOPS 330

AUSBT just announced QF to fly A330 on PER-JNB in Dec 2018. Soo the EDTO/ETOPS must be approved.

Sydney to Johannesburg tracks significantly more south than from Perth, often skating along Antarctica. When Virgin flew from Melbourne, they had to add around 2-3hours to the journey due to ETOPS 180 restrictions and flying further north.

Qantas has yet to announce that route.
The information about it has came, first from a test entry in the GDS, then from an internal QF source AusBT has.
There is reportedly an debate happening between PER airport and QF about which terminal the proposed PER-JNB flight will use. QF wants it with their other flights, using the new international wing QF9/10 uses. The airport wants it on the other side of the airfield with all the other non QF international flights.
West coast routing to JNB dips slightly into 330 areas, no where near as much as the east coast routes do. It would add about 10-15 minutes flight time to stay within ETOPS240 and around 60 minutes to stay within ETOPS180.
The VA MEL-JNB flight had to add upwards of 3 hours.

The 787 and A330 have ETOPS type ratings of 330 and 240. CASA also needs to give Qantas an operator rating, CASA won't approve more then 180. Thus, even though QF has aircraft that can be used up to ETOPS330, they can't use that capabity because CASA won't let them.
The Southern Ocean routes need at least ETOPS240 to be viable.

Himeno I can see South Africa going via Perth on a A332 maybe twice a day on some days and South America maybe dropped unless there is enough demand for a A380. All due to ETOPS.

South America has been getting very high loads and from what I heard, decent yields as well. There is talk of additional destinations in South America so I don't think we will see the axing of SCL, but instead CASA having a change in policy.

Can I ask, I see lots of comments about 2-4-2 seating and with nearly 700 of them built how many airlines actually have a 2-4-2 config. I know ANA did have this but was told that they are converting to 3-3-3 to enable more seats, as much as you might not like it, Nine across V's Eight Across, if it was your business, what would you do if it gives you a better payload???
12 Dec 2012
Total posts 979
The 787 was designed for 8 across. Adding a 9th seat to each row narrows the seats and reduces possible range.
Both ANA and JAL, the first airlines to get 787s, installed 8 across. Every other airline has gone with 9 across.
ANA has converted theirs to 9 across, JAL hasn't.
Passengers don't like 9 across 787s because it causes the economy seats to be narrower then the seats on simliar sized aircraft.

It is just like the 777 it was design for the 3-3-3 configuration. Far bit of airline now are re-configuring their airline to 3-4-3.
Normal A330 has a 2-4-2 configuration some of the major low cost airline in Asia now have them configured in a 3-3-3.
There been rumors of A380 going from a 3-4-3 to a 3-5-3.
Would be interesting to see if QF9/QF10 are load restricted, like the QF7/8 A380 to dallas and back. If so would be more wiser to put in 2-4-2 and have nicer looking load factors.

I've heard rumours of new ETOPS rule coming out wouldn't that favour the 747, and Qantas biggest problem is parents giving there children free business class trips using points and those kids then complaining about the quality of service compared to other airlines. Parents then opting for those other airlines

PER to Britain or anywhere such as France Germany involving long hours in a cramped and very narrow Economy seat is going to leave them open to potential legal action for avoiding the safety aspect (deep vein thrombosis). And, Qantas would get more sales growth if they could answer this vexing question. The 787 is a short term solution for them but not the long term answer.

Re 789s with 9-abreast seating, earlier this month flew Auckland-Christchurch on NZ and found it very uncomfortable with extremely narrow arm-rests, tight seats (and I'm slim!) and when the person in front reclined, the seat-back screen was almost in my face. This was only an hour's flight and I can imagine that after one experience flying in this seating configuration many people will choose a different plane, especially for extreme long-haul routes like PER-LON. If QF was looking to market PER-Europe flights as premium services, they need to move to 2-4-2 in Y.

Still 8 A380s on order and 4 options. Very unlikely to be delivered. Likely to be converted to A320NEOs (which when combined with existing Qantas Group A320 orders could replace all the narrow bodies in use by QF and JQ), or some form of A350 (should QF deem it better then the 777X for Project Sunrise).

Himeno, do you mean 'A320neos' or larger 'A321neos?' Is there any reason apart from cost and lack of demand that they wouldn't increase capacity by ordering the A321s not just A320s?

Firming up more 787 orders isn't a surprise. That was quite expected.
Getting rid of the 747ERs in 2020 is quite surprising. They were expected to still be around at least until 2022, if not through 2025.
Still, they could always change their minds about that again.

Well, QF can order as many 787 "dreamliners" as they really want, but I certainly will NOT fly in one of them... I will do a 777 or A380 for long-haul, but will not go in any 787 "dreamliner". No way.

There are many reports of those already have flown inside them, even on short haul, who say that economy is very uncomfortable, but this aside, there are other reasons I will not fly inside a 787, no matter what cabin class selected.

The 787's will do for now to open new routes and replace the 747's until bigger longer reaching aircraft come in. They will supplement the A380's for the time being on long haul. I can't see QF ordering all the 45 787's (maybe more for JQ) or the 8 A380's on order

Airbus rules for long and ultra-long haul; specifically the A380 and A350. They are the two best aircraft for least noise and atmospherics. The 787 even with Genex cant compete with the A350. The A350 is also superior in its cabin size and configuration, esp in Y.

I’m not really fussed about the Dreamliner. If flying economy I will go out of my way to avoid being on a 9 abreast 787. VA and DL have 9 abreast on a 777 I imagine an extra inch or 2 makes a comfortable difference.

Over 100 comments on this announcement and this is first mention of the PE lack of leg room! I recently flew MEL-PER in PE on a domestic 787-9 service. I was impressed by everything about the PE product, with the exception that for me at 6ft 5inches tall it seemed about as cramped as a generous Y seat when seats were reclined. I won’t be considering it for future long haul travel unless it is improved.

That could depend on Project Sunrise, in that an A350 ULR choice could result in wider use of the A350. Presumably some of the 787 options can be taken as 10s, so this would seem likely to be the best deal for QF.

Getting rid of old 747 'gas guzzlers' doesn't ALWAYS make sense. BA still has a huge fleet (50-ish) of the jet and will remain in the fleet for some time yet. Why? Because although their operating costs are obviously higher they are owned outright. New 787's etc do not come cheap. The purchasing/leasing fees have to be weighed up against the operating savings.

The 787 is a good plane but far too tight in Qantas configuration (3-3-3) for long haul travel. The A380, A330 and 747 are better in this regard.

Not sure Of the benefit of flying to non oneworld hubs like Paris and Frankfurt. Can’t they just use the new 787s to open another daily to London? I’m sure the premium load is there if so many Far eastern and middle eastern carriers fly several times a day to various Australian cities.
