Qantas agrees to sell 48 Boeing 737NGs

[Captain Halliday]

The frames will go to aviation aftermarket business AerFin.

The first two aircraft are due to be handed over before the end of the year.

The rest will leave the QF fleet over seven years.

By reports elsewhere the retirements have already started with VH-VXA, VXO and VXP.

To be clear the airline is not selling 44 in one hit.
Each airframe is only handed over when retired from service.

I though that was clear from my original post and the linked statement.

But I take your point and have edited the thread title from Qantas sells 48 Boeing 737NGs to Qantas agrees to sell 48 Boeing 737NGs.

I wasn't sure from the headline initially and thought that QF were letting go of 44 in one hit, but understood the actual meaning from the body of your comment
