I’d be interested to see the economics with the A330Neo over the 787/350, however I’d imagine they want to be mindful around fleet complexity.

They will also need a new widebody fleet for JQ in around 10-12 years.

Something for 20 years down the track probably

I wouldn't be all that surprised if QF were sniffing around on behalf of JQ fleet needs as well as their own.

I mentioned it here also. I thought there was an existing thread on QF Fleet renewal but could find anything…(besides PS).

It makes sense they're sniffing around since they have existing options they need to decide whether to exercise or not.

My guess is they’ll add more of the A350-1000 to the order book to replace the A380s (slated for retirement beginning FY32), as the existing 787 and standard A35K orders are for the A330 fleet. And then I reckon they’ll add a few more 787s to complete the A330 replacement + maybe allow for growth
