Hmmm. Just saw this about the 787. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvkEpstd9os It doesn't paint a rosy picture. I've been wondering why Australian airlines aren't purchasing the 787 as the 767 was a star performer here. Instead they are buying up A330's in droves. The A330 is an outlier in a mountain of otherwise Boeing aircraft. They aren't buying all those A330's because of a cheap purchase price that's for sure. I haven't heard anything myself. Australian airlines have traditionally been pretty astute with aircraft purchases which is making me think something is up. I wouldn't put much stock into the video on face value in isolation. Two years ago I could fly out of Perth domestically on a choice of 747-400, 767-300, 737-800 or A330-200/300. Now it is A330-200 only. QANTAS or Virgin. (Range is what dictates aircraft size rather than loads out of Perth) |
