p20 THE SPIRIT OF AUSTRALIA
QANTAS OPERATES A FLEET OF 187 AIRCRAFT
fleet
QANTAS FLEET Qantas continues to be a world leader in the selection of new aircraft types.
Highlights of the year included:
•delivery of 15 Next Generation Boeing 737-800s between February and August 2002;
•the ordering of an additional four Boeing 737-800s for delivery from May 2003;
•delivery of six Boeing 717s between April and June 2002;
•finalising preparations for the delivery in November 2002 of the first of six Boeing 747-400ER aircraft;
•finalising preparations for the delivery in November 2002 of the first of 13 Airbus A330 aircraft; and
•continuing preparations for the delivery of 12 Airbus A380 aircraft between 2006 and 2011.
The new Boeing 737-800s are more fuel efficient and cost effective and offer more spacious cabins,
more headroom and larger windows than the Boeing 737-300.
The speed with which Qantas selected and acquired these aircraft was unprecedented in the airline’s history.
The first new aircraft entered service just three months after a contract was signed with Boeing and all 15 were
operating six months later.
