In a blow to Boeing, Qantas picks Airbus for its domestic fleet
CNN
Australia's Qantas is choosing Airbus over Boeing to replace its domestic fleet. The decision is a big blow to the American aircraft maker, and a major win for its European rival.
The airline said Thursday that it plans to buy 40 Airbus planes, including 20 A321XLR jets and 20 A220 carriers.
The company will also have the right to buy another 94 aircraft over the next 10 years "as its existing Boeing 737-800s and 717s are gradually phased out."
