- 2 A330-200 were withdrawn from the fleet in recent months. The QR A330 fleet is now down to 10 aircraft from a 2022 peak of 14. The summer schedule indicates that more could be withdrawn.
- 2 Qsuite equipped 777-200LR were withdrawn from use. These were sold by the lessor to another lessor that was intending to convert them to freighters. Will be interesting to see if QR makes a deal to bring them back to the fleet temporarily like they did with A7-BBF.
- Only 3 more A359 coming back into service and a handful of 787-9 to be delivered in 2024. Considering that QR is growing in 2024 that won't leave many new aircraft to replace older ones.
- QR have 6 ex-CX 77W in service, the summer schedule for that configuration can be done with 4 aircraft. I don't know if it means two will be withdrawn or they just haven't finished assigning these aircraft.
- Some of QR's aircraft have been advertised by lessors as available in 2024, including those with newer products. Doesn't mean that they will leave.
- Former CEO indicated the 737-10 could make its debut at the end of 2024, but it looks like 2025 is more likely.

Considering the non-standard A330 without IFE, the A340 with other airline's interiors, the leased A350, the leased 77W. For much of the past 20 years they have had aircraft with inconsistent products. I hope the leadership prioritises brand integrity and consistency of the product over growth.
