As for A330-300 replacement aircraft the 787-10 would be best fit for most Asia/Oceania destinations. An all Boeing international fleet which looks like where it's heading in the medium to long term will help decrease maintence costs I would think would be perfect for commonality.
B777-9/8X, A380 replacement (A380neo possible if it is available by then, but unlikely) A380 replacement from 2023-2025
B787-9, B747 replacement and growth in US, Dubai, Europe
B787-9/10, A330-300 replacement from 2021-2023 approx and future growth in Asia/Oceania
What will be the A330-200 replacement aircraft though? B787-8?
Also for the B737-800 replacement aircraft?
Does Qantas transfer the some a320neo orders to replace B737-8 but then have to retrain Qantas short haul pilots but then decrease maintence costs and other benefits by having Qantas and Jetstar both using A320neos. Or does Qantas order B737MAX and A320neo for Jetstar and not have to retrain. I think having QF and JQ having both A320neos is the best option in the long term.
Are the Qantas Groups A320neo order delivery from FY17 too FY22?
