Qantas Airways Expands and Modernizes Fleet for 2025
Let’s talk about Qantas Airways and the exciting developments in its fleet for 2025. If you're an aviation enthusiast or just someone who loves to travel, you’ll want to hear this. Qantas is making major moves in both fleet expansion and modernization, ensuring it remains a powerhouse in the Asia-Pacific region.
As of 2025, Qantas operates a fleet of 125 mainline aircraft, serving domestic, regional, and international routes. This doesn’t even include aircraft from subsidiaries like Jetstar, QantasLink, and Qantas Freight. The airline has strategically built a fleet with a mix of Airbus and Boeing aircraft, aiming for efficiency, sustainability, and passenger comfort.
Now, let’s break down some of the key aircraft in Qantas’ lineup. The Airbus A330-200 and A330-300 continue to handle medium to long-haul routes, but their days are numbered. From 2027 onwards, they’ll be replaced by the more fuel-efficient Boeing 787s and Airbus A350s. Speaking of the A350, Qantas has ordered 12 A350-1000s, which will play a crucial role in the airline’s ambitious “Project Sunrise” – ultra-long-haul, non-stop flights connecting Sydney directly to cities like New York and London.
If you love the iconic Airbus A380, you’ll be happy to know that Qantas still operates 10 of these superjumbos, primarily flying high-demand routes like Sydney to Los Angeles and London. These aircraft have been refurbished and returned to service, offering passengers a luxurious and comfortable long-haul experience.

Domestically, Qantas is in the process of phasing out its Boeing 737-800 fleet, replacing them with the highly efficient Airbus A321XLR. With 28 of these aircraft on order, Qantas aims to enhance its domestic and regional operations while reducing fuel consumption and emissions.
The airline is also strengthening its long-haul capabilities with additional Boeing 787-9 aircraft—four more are expected to arrive by 2027. Plus, Qantas has ordered eight Boeing 787-10s, which will replace the aging A330 fleet and serve as workhorses for long-haul international routes.
Now, beyond just aircraft, Qantas is expanding its international network. In 2025, the airline is adding approximately 220,000 seats to its international routes. Key changes include increasing Melbourne–Dallas flights, bringing back the A380 for Sydney–Dallas, and introducing a new Brisbane–Palau route. Some adjustments are also being made, such as reducing Sydney–New York flights from six to five per week.
Sustainability remains at the heart of Qantas’ strategy. The airline is committed to modernizing its fleet with fuel-efficient aircraft, cutting down emissions, and working toward its net-zero carbon emissions target by 2050.
So, what does all of this mean for passengers? More comfort, better efficiency, and expanded route options. Whether you're flying domestically, across the Pacific, or on a future non-stop Sydney-to-New York flight, Qantas is ensuring that its fleet remains cutting-edge and competitive.
It's an exciting time for Qantas, and we’ll definitely be watching how these changes unfold. Stay tuned for more updates, and if you're planning to fly, you might just be among the first to experience these next-generation aircraft in action!
