The 50 options, filled, maybe?

With 787-10s?

Interesting possibilities if nothing else…

SAN FRANCISCO, March 29 (Reuters) – Qantas Airways AX> is very likely to exercise its option to buy another 50 Boeing Co. 787 Dreamliner jets on top of an existing order of 65 planes, the company’s chief financial officer said on Wednesday.

The airline, the world’s eighth-biggest passenger airline by market value, also hopes to decide in the coming months on new ultra long-range jets, Qantas Chief Financial Officer Peter Gregg told Reuters in an interview.

In December, the Australian carrier announced it would buy 65 Boeing 787s for more than $10 billion, with the option to purchase another 50, also worth more than $10 billion. Officials met in San Francisco to sign the deal on Wednesday.

“Effectively, there are 65 orders out there in the books straight away and you get the ability to buy another 50 at the prices we have negotiated,” Gregg said. “We will want those 50, I am pretty sure of that.”

He said Qantas had negotiated a discount from Boeing’s list price, but declined to give specific numbers.

Qantas decided on the Boeing jets after also considering the A350 made by Airbus, which is 80 percent owned by European Aerospace Defence & Space Co. and 20 percent by Britain’s BAE Systems Plc .
