Qantas can 787-9!

Qantas have sensationally cancelled their firm order for 35 Boeing 787-9s, in a bid to reign in costs as part of its fleet restructure.

Fifty B787-9 options and purchase rights will be retained and brought forward by almost two years, available for delivery from 2016" the airline said in a statement.

Jetstar will still receive their 15 Boeing 787-8s which will enable the return of the A330 fleet back to Qantas which will enable them to replace their aging domestic B767 fleet.
