Unlike some other airlines, Qantas expects the Airbus A380 fleet to make a comeback. The machines in long-time storage and some of them even had a new cabin immediately beforehand.
So far not a single passenger has been able to experience the updated interior. Some time ago, Qantas believed that the machines could not make their comeback until 2023 at the earliest. Recently, however, there were also some indications that indicated that it was finally over.
Alan Joyce, CEO of the Australian carrier, opposes this. He is of the opinion that the four-jet engines could still have a future in the fleet. The machines have only been in use by Qantas since 2007. At Lufthansa and Air France you see it differently, because the French airline has already created facts and Lufthansa boss Carsten Spohr said repeatedly that the re-use of the superjumbo "extremely unlikely“Is.
Even so, Qantas CEO Alan Joyce claims that the airline's remaining double-decker quad jets may still have an operational future. “Looking at the Qantas network, we believe there will be opportunities to use these aircraft. At some point, ”said the head of Australia's largest airline during the Eurocontrol meeting. However, he did not say when the possible comeback could take place.
