Jetstar expects first 787 at end of calendar year 2013; undecided on base
Qantas Group's first 787 delivery is expected at the end of calendar year 2013 and the 14 aircraft, all -8 variants, will go to Jetstar, Jetstar Group CCO David Koczkar told CAPA on the sidelines of the Airline Retail Conference in Hong Kong (27-Feb-2013). The aircraft will replace Jetstar's 11 (soon to be 10) A330s on a one-for-one basis, with the last four aircraft to be used for growth. Jetstar has still yet to decide if it will base the aircraft in Australia or Singapore.
