Qantas Airways is to go ahead with the lease of seven Boeing 767-300s from oneworld partner and minority investor British Airways (BA) and has unveiled a series of route changes to accompany the deliveries. Qantas deputy chief executive Geoff Dixon says the carrier's investment in the lease is "significant," but adds that the exact sum remains confidential.
Qantas says those of the Rolls-Royce RB211-524 powered aircraft - being delivered between June this year and March 2001 - to be used on international routes will be "reconfigured with the airline's new business and economy class seating".
