Qantas Considering Airbus A350-900ULR

Quote:

Speaking on the sidelines of the International Air Transport Association (IATA) conference in Dublin this week, Qantas CEO Alan Joyce said he was "absolutely" looking at the A350-900ULR, which Asian competitor Singapore Airlines will begin flying in 2018 to relaunch non-stop flights from Singapore to Los Angeles and New York.

Quote:

You always look at all the options out there to make sure you're picking the one with the right economics" Joyce said, stacking the long-legged A350 against the Boeing 777-8X.

I would have been surprised if they weren't keeping their options open, then that would have been news, unlike the four AusBT blogs on the subject so far :rolleyes:

Hardly news, Qantas like most major airlines would consider all aircraft types for their needs.
