flee 5 Report post Posted May 3, 2018 Qantas has firmed options on six additional Boeing 787-9s and announced that it will retire its 747 fleet by 2020. Once delivered, the new jets will take its 787 fleet to 14 units, which will feature a common 236 seat configuration and will be powered by General Electric GEnx engines. Qantas has four 787s in service, with four more due for delivery by the end of the year. The new batch will then be delivered from late 2019 to mid-to-late 2020. The arrival of those jets will facilitate the retirement of its remaining 747-400s, the youngest of which will be 17 years old by 2020.
