Ansett Australia has sold its last six Boeing 727s (five -200 Advs and one -200 Adv Freighter) to Intrepid Aviation Partners of Memphis, for A$20 million ($16 million). Three will be delivered in January, and three in April, and the non-cargo aircraft converted to freighters. The 727 capacity has been replaced progressively by Airbus A320s. A decision on international fleet additions (Flight International 13-19 November, 1996) is not now expected until former Cathay Pacific chief executive Rod Eddington takes up his new position at Ansett later this month.
