Alan Joyce: Qantas won't rush on follow-up Boeing 787 orders
Feb 05, 2018, 02:01 PMThis makes sense. I mean why would he say they were going to rush in and get more 787's, given that it would look like the whole "get 8 and test them out" story would be out the window, and given that they don't need to announce the next ones yet?

The domestic fee...

Qantas to start Melbourne-Gold Coast flights from October
Jul 22, 2015, 01:37 PMThis has definitely been the number one route that it's surprised me that Qantas domestic hasn't returned to, so good to hear! One a day seems a bit tepid, but I guess it'll grow over time.
