Will virgin australia dry-lease some 787s from qatar eventually? They could get some of their ageing 787-8s and use them for los angeles/asia flights. They could also use them on mel/syd/bne to perth flights to better compete with Qantas.

There’s quite a few 787s for lease at present, so I doubt it will happen. Having a second local international carrier has always been a struggle with AN leaning on SQ leased aircraft and more recently VA MK1 both failing to make an impact.
