Due to the current low demand for international flights, Qantas is sending a large part of the Boeing 787 fleet in Corona break. The double jets will be transported to Vivtorville in California from September - but only temporarily, unlike the carrier's jumbo jets.

The planes are to be stored there for at least a year, according to the prognosis of Qantas boss Alan Joyce. Until then, one expects that the demand will rise again to a profitable level. But not all aircraft go into stand-by mode: The airline wants to keep a small part of the fleet as "emergency aircraft" on demand in Australia, like flugrevue.de reported.
