bits44: interesting piece of news.

But please don't shout: write in normal characters, not capital letters.

I think they also would like to postpone the deliveries of their A380's until 2009 .... but not sure about that.

Nice to see that airlines are interested in the B7e7.

BTW it's Qantas and not Quantas

I think it's Qatar, not Qantas, Qantas is the Australian airline and they only have A320s and A330s as their Airbus carriers, others are Boeings.

Well as a passenger, I would want Qatar to support Airbus to go ahead with the A350 as that would mean more diversity for us passengers!

Welcome to Luchtzak cwk287.

As Concordino already said. If you read carefully the first message you will see why we talk about Qantas as well

It seems that have a lot of ideas those days. Let's hope that many of those projects will really come true in the future.

sorry just realised Qantas is also in the frame...

I can't wait till Airbus to confirm the A350, if they do, it will surely be better than 7E7 as there is no point to introduce an inferior product to compete.
