Qantas Group CEO Alan Joyce, speaking at the CAPA Australia Pacific Aviation Summit, said (05-Aug-2016) the carrier is "continually pushing" the orders for its remaining eight A380s out. Mr Joyce explained: "Our intention is that we're not taking those aircraft… We have 12 aircraft and the 12 aircraft we have are fantastic." Mr Joyce continued: "We believe there's a network for 12, that's very good and works very well. We struggle with the network for the next eight and thats why we keep pushing them out."
