Names for first batch of Qantas Boeing 787-9s to feature indigenous heritage, landmarks and native animals

Australia’s indigenous heritage will feature prominently among Qantas’s first batch of eight Boeing 787-9s with Boomerang, Uluru and Dreamtime making the final list names for the soon-to-arrive next generation aircraft.

The list comprises Boomerang, Dreamtime, Great Barrier Reef, Great Southern Land, Quokka, Skippy, Uluru and Waltzing Matilda. Qantas said on Wednesday the name of the first 787-9 that is due for delivery in October would be announced at a later date.

More A380 capacity freed up with the announcement MEL LAX will see the 787 a couple of days of the week replacing the A380 in addition to the already announced 787 flights that replace the 744.

"EXCLUSIVE | Qantas will reduce the number of Airbus A380 Melbourne-Los Angeles flights in early 2018 to just three superjumbo services each week in a move which will also trim availability of first class suites on the trans-Pacific route.

From February 12 to March 24 2018, Qantas will fly the A380 between Melbourne and LAX only three days each week, with a Boeing 787 Dreamliner picking up two days of the QF93/QF94 service.

This will run alongside the six-day-a-week schedule of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner on QF95/QF96."

The QF Schedules pages for the week commencing 12 February 2018 show the following:

QF93/94 - 380 - 357,
789 - 1246

QF95 - 789 - 1356
QF96 - 789 - 1456

The Wednesday flight into LAX does not leave till Thursday, about 36 hours in the QF hanger at LAX.
