Jetstar’s new fleet has undergone a subtle change bosses say makes a ‘substantial’ difference
This type of weight saving is examined by every single supplier for products that pass to all these new planes, Becroft told the small crowd of assembled journalists, who participated as guests of Airbus and Qantas.
Gray’s transition should also allow a JetStar plane to age with more grace.
Five newly built Airbus A321neos came out of the assembly line in France with the new painting work. JetStar said that “probably” he will also repay his existing fleet of Eleven Boeing 787s Gray.
The update of the JetStar fleet is further advanced by Qantas. The most recent 21, more efficient Airbus A321lrs and A320neos that JetStar now manages have helped him to reach a 54 % increase in national earnings compared to last year.
And in the battle for profits, the cut of costs at each turn is the name of the game.
For airlines, this has always been true.
In recent years, all aspects of the equipment on board (drinks trolleys) and services (duty-free goods) have been re-evaluated by airlines that try to reduce costs and improve emissions.

Faulty, the US airline United spared $ 300,000 ($ 480,000) per year changing the paper stock in the magazine in flight.
The business professor of UNSW Rico Merkert said that it was a good time for Airbus, that he had his “full hands” that produced planes necessary for vectors such as Qantas.
“Now they have a huge backward,” said the plane.
In the current market, each new generation of plan must be considerably more efficient than its predecessor to make it feasible for the carrier.
Not only are planes lighter and more efficient, but lower the carbon emissions of the airline, which is a common goal.
After JetStar took possession of the planes from Airbus, the 321neos will be transported by JetStar crews from Toulouse to Muscat in the nation of the Gulf of Oman, then Kuala Lumpur, in Malaysia and then to Melbourne.

When asked for how long before the entire fleet is painted gray, Becroft said it would be a “long time”.
“Because the whole existing fleet is still in silver,” he said.
“So it depends only on the speed with which we can put all the new neo planes on duty.”
At that point, the silver and orange jetstar livery will be delivered to the history books.
And the hungry audience can hardly beat an eye.
