Qantas picks Airbus for domestic fleet refresh
Qantas has delivered a blow to Boeing and chosen rival Airbus to revitalise its domestic fleet. Qantas plans to buy 40 Airbus planes, including 20 A321XLR jets and 20 A220 planes.
It also has the option to buy another 94 aircraft over the next 10 years. "This was a very tough choice to make," said CEO Alan Joyce. The order is expected to be finalised by the middle of next year.
