18 Qantas Annual Report 2004
At 30 June 2004, Qantas Group Flying Businesses operated
a fleet of 190 aircraft.
Following a significant investment in new aircraft in 2002/03,
15 aircraft were brought into service during 2003/04:
two Boeing 747-400ERs;
three Boeing 737-800s;
three Airbus A330-300s; and
seven Bombardier Dash 8-Q300s.
Qantas has announced it will acquire an additional 10
Boeing 737-800s for domestic operations in addition to
those already on order. By the end of 2005, the 737-800
fleet will total 33.
The Boeing 737-800 features a more spacious cabin, more
headroom, larger windows, greater fuel efficiency and other
benefits that improve aircraft utilisation, reliability, on-time
performance and customer appeal.
Three Airbus A330-300 aircraft were also delivered in
June and July 2004. Fitted with the new Business Class
product, including Skybed, they are now operating
medium-haul international services.
In addition, it was announced that Jetstar would operate
a single aircraft fleet of Airbus A320 aircraft – 20 purchased
and three leased. The A320s will gradually replace Jetstar's
Boeing 717s from mid-2005.
Twenty one aircraft were retired during the year:
four Boeing 767-200ERs;
one Boeing 737-400;
four Boeing 737-300s;
seven Bombardier Dash 8s; and
five British Aerospace 146s.
The centrepiece of the future fleet plan remains the Airbus
A380.
This twin-deck aircraft will carry more than 500 passengers
in a three-class configuration and will provide greater
opportunities to expand capacity at slot constrained airports
around the world.
Qantas has ordered 12 Airbus A380 aircraft, the first of
which is scheduled for delivery at the end of 2006
QANTAS REMAINS A WORLD LEADER IN ITS ABILITY TO SELECT NEW AIRCRAFT
AND CREATE THE BEST MIX OF AIRCRAFT TYPES TO MEET OPERATIONAL AND
COMMERCIAL DEMANDS.
