Qantas Group has plans to buy ten new planes, and lease 18 aircraft by the end of 2013 in a move to boost its domestic, resources charter and international fleets, Qantas chief executive officer Alan Joyce has said.
“With the domestic market continuing its strong post-GFC recovery and growth, the Qantas Group will need additional capacity to participate in this growth and maintain its profit maximising 65% domestic market share,” he added.
