Qantas's HUGE PLAN For Airbus A321XLR SHOCKED Everyone! Here's Why
Qantas, Australia’s largest airline, recently shocked the industry by announcing the purchase of 20 Airbus A3 21 XLR's. Normally, this wouldn’t be too surprising, but the issue is that Qantas currently operates a massive fleet of Boeing 7 3 sevens. Instead of continuing with the next-generation version of the 7 3 7 to maintain fleet commonality, the airline has boldly chosen aircraft from a different manufacturer. This move signals that the airline must have realized something significant and decided to make a major shift.
So, why didn’t Qantas order the 7 3 7 Max instead of the A3 21 XLR? How exactly did the Boeing 7 3 7 Max lose its ground in Australia? Let’s find out!
Why Did Qantas Order the A321XLR?
Qantas's HUGE PLAN For Airbus A321XLR SHOCKED Everyone! Here's Why
To understand why Qantas chose the A3 21 XLR, we first need to look at its current narrowbody fleet. This carrier operates 75 Boeing 7 3 7 8 hundreds, with 71 still in service. These aircraft form the backbone of its domestic network and some short-haul international routes. However, the fleet is aging, with an average age of 17.3 years—the youngest being over 10 years old and the oldest nearly 24. While the 7 3 7 has long been a reliable workhorse, the numbers clearly show that replacements are overdue. The carrier has already planned to gradually phase out these aircraft and replace them with new-generation aircraft such as the Airbus A3 21 XLR and A2 20 to boost efficiency and strengthen long-term competitiveness. Therefore, the decision to order an additional 20 aircrafts is no coincidence—it’s the result of a bold, long-term strategy.

First, the XLR is seen as the perfect successor to Qantas’s aging 7 3 7 fleet. The 7 3 7 800 is simply not as fuel-efficient as the XLR. This carrier expects to achieve fuel savings of 20 to 30% by replacing its older aircraft. Beyond fleet renewal, the Airbus aircraft’s modern engines and advanced technology promise significant economic benefits. On top of that, cockpit commonality with other Airbus aircraft in the airline fleet helps lower pilot training costs—an increasingly critical factor today. Still, it needs to be mentioned that the 7 3 7 Max also offers impressive fuel efficiency.
