First Qantas A220 revealed

[moa999]

Technically branded QantasLink.

Similarly in the US whether owned or franchised the sites seem to count the smaller subsidiaries separately.

Personally think (particularly for Qantas) you need to adjust for plane seat count.

Qantas youngest recent 'fleet age' was probably in 2006/7 when they had a chunk of very young 737s, but also a lot of older 747s.

My point was these aircraft are referred to by Qantas as 'Qantas' planes.

This applies also to the first two you mention, though not Jetstar aircraft.

They also refer to Express Freighters Australia as Qantas, so maybe we should group all planes under that banner? FWIW Airfleets list by operator or the AOC they operate under, which legally is the correct entity as registered.

Airfleets is exclusively (or primarily) concerned with passenger-carrying planes, not freighters.

Err no, they track fleets by AOC not purpose, eg https://www.airfleets.net/flottecie/Express Freighters Australia.htm

To put it in their own words “Airfleets contains all information on civil aircraft. Covering the majority of manufacturers in the world (Airbus, Boeing, Embraer, Bombardier, Sukhoi, Fokker ,...), Airfleets informs you about aircraft movements between different operators and fleets status of most airlines in the world. Airfleets is also photos for planespotters.”

Are we wandering a bit away from the Thread subject, here (Qantas A220)?
