It seems that JetStar is getting an early gift – 8 new Boeing 787’s that will be delivered from the middle of 2012 onwards.
This is part of the Qantas order, that has been brought forward some two years as some delivery slots have been made available of which 25 are going to Qantas itself, whilst the 25 are going off to JetStar.
The first 8 will be assigned to Jetstar which plans to use the aircraft for international flights to Asia and southern Europe and to replace its Airbus A330s, with the remaining 787’s being delivered from 2014.
With this, JetStar will be taking a very early lead, and early deployment.
If that is the 787 programme bears fruit of production aircraft in the air….
