Qantas is considering an additional order for around 20 widebody aircraft, with Boeing 787s or Airbus A350s under review, according to a report published on 4 June.
The potential deal has not been formally confirmed by the airline and remains a reported fleet-planning discussion. The report says the aircraft would add to Qantas’ existing long-haul fleet renewal plans, which already include 12 A350-1000ULRs for Project Sunrise and 12 A350-1000LRs linked to the carrier’s August 2023 Project Fysh announcement.
Qantas’ newsroom has previously said it placed a firm order for 12 Airbus A350s and 12 Boeing 787s, including four 787-9s and eight 787-10s. The company’s fleet materials also refer to the wider A350 and 787 program.
The reported consideration is relevant for Qantas’ widebody deployment because it would further shape the airline’s long-haul fleet mix, but the item remains a media report rather than an official order announcement.
