A very smart decision for Qantas. Bit surprised they didn't go with the MAX, but the XLR will be amazing for Qantas, it would be great to see some lie-flat business class seats on some of those planes. And the A220 will work great for the airline too, in more ways than ever. Thanks for the video!

Awesome and smart decision by qantas! Airbus is the future 😃

Excellent decision. The A220 will be an excellent replacement for 717.

Replacing a 737NG with an Airbus is a no-brainer. The 320/321 has a wider cabin, allowing 1-inch wider seats in 3+3. The baggage bins are significantly larger too, and it can load containerised baggage and cargo underfloor. Way to go, QANTAS!

Exited to be able to fly around the country on an A220, I really like the plane but I have never flown it

what can Boeing do about Not much. With their "old-new" 737 MAX range the US planemaker is lagging behind in versatility and alternatives. Southwest Airlines, Spicejet and Ryanair stick with the 737MAX because they just need basic cheap planes. With almost no comfort and small legroom. The price is the first argument of their customers. But Airbus is selling their A220 and A320/321 planes twice faster compared to what Boeing is doing with the 737MAX. Despite the fact Airbus planes are a bit more expensive....How come? Because the customers and the pilots favor the Airbus planes. Boeing made terrible mistakes by choosing profit over safety and quality. Just like US carmakers. Where is the prestige of the old B737, the B757, the B767, the current 777 and the ageing B747 Fading away...After the terrible B737MAX fiasco and the quality issues with the B787, airlines are more and more reluctant to trust Boeing. And while Airbus is getting big orders with each plane, Boeing is struggling to make profit with their new planes. The 787 program will maybe never be profitable. Despite very strong sales. The question remains open with the 737MAX. And even the future B777X could be a lasting financial headache for Boeing. Until early 2030, Boeing will lag behind Airbus. The cargo market will certainly save Boeing. But with the delayed B777X project, Boeing can't fully compete yet with the A350F. Which will fly from 2025. Will Qantas and Emirates remain rare Boeing big Boeing will remain in troubled waters for years to come...

They don't need the XLR for domestic routes. Would be a bad use of the aircraft. Those are for longer international routes. But the order for both makes sense. Boeing doesn't really have competing products for either the 220 or XLR.

Never liked the B737max after two fatal disasters in Indonesia and Ethiopia. And all the safety issues it had than.
Good move Flying Kangaroo!!!

Once the 737s go Qantas will nearly have an all airbus fleet

I am not really surprise by the Qantas Group announcement. With the Qantas Group's LCC Jetstar already operating a fleet of 56 A320ceo/A321ceo and with 45 A320neos, 28 A321LRs, and 36 A321XLR already ordered, the A220 family is good replacement for B717 and the A321xlr to replacement for the B737-800 fleet for the Qantas mainline operation, it will stream line Qantas Group flight operations, spares, engineering and flight/cabin crew training. I wouldn't be surprises the A321xlr will replace the aging A330-200' and possibility the A330-300.
