For the time being, yes.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe that no's 12, 13 & 14, potentially VKM, N & O have been deferred not cancelled. I know the order for no 15 was cancelled??

Spot on, 11 confirmed deliveries, 3 deferred with no firm date or slot known and 1 cancelled out of the 15 originally slated for Jetstar. The announcement was in relation to cuts running through to FY17 made in Feb last year, so I think its a fair assumption you wont see the orders coming to fruition before then. I also think its a reasonable assumption they will have the same fate as the A380s that were deferred, in that they will eventually be cancelled.

As noted in the Investor Presentation for the FY15 results, the 3 deferred orders for JQ has now been reallocated to QF and converted to 787-9 on a one to one basis.

Forgive me if this is covered elsewhere - what was the reason for the cancellation (VKC ?????) ?

[Rowan McKeever]

If you're asking what I think you're asking, Garry, then JQ skipped VKC as it was already the registration of a private aircraft.

[Garry Emanuel]

Thanks Rowan - actually keen to understand why there was a cancellation too ? I thought the 2 were linked.

Not sure if JQ tried to buy/trade the rego like VA did with BZG (Bretts Jet). The VH-BZG was previously allocated to two Victorian farmers Piper Warrior. The farmer reportedly swapped the registration with Virgin Blue for a couple of tickets to Canada & Alaska, while the co-owner of the Warrior was off to South Africa with the compliments of Virgin Blue.
