Qantas Aims to Finish the Upgrade of Six Airbus A380 Superjumbos before Year End
Three Qantas Airbus A380 had their new cabins already installed before the airline suspended all its international flights. The Australian flag carrier now sent three more superjumbos to the sites in Dresden and Abu Dhabi for maintenance and refurbishement work.
The Australian flag carrier has 12 Airbus A380 in its fleet. The remaining six superjumbos have been stored in Sydney, Melbourne, and Los Angeles.
"Nobody knows when this is going to end, with the airline having its own hibernation-mode plans for three months, six months, nine months, a year,"
said Qantas Group CEO, Alan Joyce.
When the spread of the coronavirus stops in the country, domestic flights are expected to start before the international flights.
Despite the current slowdown, Qantas sticks to its initial plan to complete the refurbishment of its six classic superjumbos by the end of this year. The planes will be outfitted with new first-class suites, new business class and premium economy seats, plus two new onboard lounges.
