My observation:

Qantas will be using the second batch of four 787-9s due between July and November next year to retire the B747s operating BNE-LAX and SYD-SFO.

The 787s options for early to mid 2019 will then be used to connect BNE-LAX and SYD-SFO to Perth to CDG and TXL.

With 15 787 options available to be confirmed for 2019 and 2020 that will mean 8 to 7 over two years. So Qantas will probably have 23 787s by FY 2021 (mid 2020).

With 30 purchase right orders between FY2021-2025 this will also average 6 deliveries per year.

By the end of next year as I see it the only routes that will have 747 operating on them will be Sydney to Johannesburg (1), Sydney to Santiago (1), Sydney to Haneda (2), and Sydney and Melbourne to Hong Kong (1) combined with an one A380 (previously from QF9/10 and the other to start the A380 refurb)

Can you name that plane? Qantas asks public to name its 787s
Quote:
Qantas has called on the general public to suggest names for its forthcoming fleet of eight Boeing 787-9 aircraft, which it says it wants to name after “Australian icons”.

The airline has published a page on its website where anyone can provide eight name suggestions for the 787s, the first of which is due for delivery in October this year.

“We want their names to reflect the true Spirit of Australia, so your suggestions should be around people, places or things that reflect the depth and breadth of this place we all call home. It could be a notable person, a ground-breaking invention, a piece of our culture, a saying, a man-made or natural landmark, anything that sums up what Australia means to you,” the name-the-plane webpage reads.
