Qantas mulls over leases of two Airbus A330-200s
Qantas is pausing its Airbus A330 refurbishment program as the airline considers whether to extend the leases of two A330-200s. The A330-200s – VH-EBL and VH-EBG – are the two remaining aircraft in the fleet of 10 A330-300s and 18 A330-200s yet to be fitted with new Thompson Aero Seating business class seats, an updated economy cabin and new Panasonic inflight entertainment systems throughout the cabin. Instead, the pair of Airbus widebodies have angled lie-flat SkyBeds in business class in a 2-2-2 configuration and previous generation Rockwell Collins seat-back inflight entertainment (IFE).

Bit confused about the "lease" arrangement with EBG and EBL. Looking at the aircraft register it seems as if these two aircraft are owned by Australian based finance companies, which says to me they are really Qantas "owned" but under mortgage to the finance company. Whereas the 2 international -200's that have already left the fleet were leased from CIT. I also seem to recall that when Qantas got these 4 aircraft that 2 were part of the A380 delay compensation and two were leased from CIT. The two that have gone to the RAAF were without doubt the leased aircraft, hence the question mark I have over EBG and EBL.
Looking at the registered owner of the aircraft from the aircraft register it seems as if EBM and EBO onwards are owned by known leasing companies. EBM C.I.T. LEASING CORPORATION EBO AWAS EBP C.I.T. LEASING CORPORATION EBQ C.I.T. LEASING CORPORATION EBR AWAS EBS C.I.T. LEASING CORPORATION EBV ALC AIRCRAFT HOLDINGS I, LLC But all up to EBM seem to be owned but under finance, except EBD and EBF which don't appear to be under finance. EBA QANTAS EBA G.I.E. EBB QANTAS EBB G.I.E. EBC QANTAS EBC G.I.E. EBD QANTAS AIRWAYS LIMITED EBE QF BOC 2008-2 PTY LIMITED EBF QANTAS AIRWAYS LIMITED EBG OAS AUSTRALIA INVESTMENTS LIMITED EBJ WELLS FARGO BANK NORTHWEST NATIONAL ASSOCIATION EBK OAS AUSTRALIA INVESTMENTS LIMITED EBL CBA AIR PTY LTD EBN could be either it isn't as clear as the rest of the fleet. Jessica leasing appears to be a 'shell' finance company, but being based in Ireland it is possible that someone like CIT are using them to finance the aircraft or it could be Qantas directly. EBN JESSICA LEASING LIMITED

It's actually been quoted as EBG & EBL that are under review. I can't find anything definitive (in all honesty, I didn't look overly hard) but from what I did find (registered address etc) I'm not convinced OAS Australia Investments Limited is part of Qantas Airways Limited, certainly not in the wat we've become used to seeing Qantas's internal leasing structures.
