JQ flying Tullamarine/SYD, Leasing 4 x 332's & QF profit

[oz_mark]

Airbus is offering an increased weight / range A332 for delivery from 2010.

Recent production aircraft are eligble for retrofit, including I think VH-EBL, maybe VH-EBK.

Airbus claims that it will outrange early B788's.

Was a bit of a hunt through the Airbus site to find it

New-build A330-200s will have the option of an extra 3.4 tonnes of payload or additional 330 nautical miles of range beginning in August 2010, and a retrofit package for post-February 2004 aircraft will be available from November 2010. For the retrofit, upgrading in-service aircraft should only take a few days for airlines to complete.
