QR evaluating AA A332 Fleet
The article is full of holes in so far as it fails to mention the fact most of AA’s A333 fleet has been chopped up. It also suggests QR will probably refurbish the fleet before it enters service, I’d argue that is highly unlikely, especially as AA had a 1x2x1 business class layout on that fleet vs. QR’s poor 2x2x2 current A330 fleet layout. Still an interesting development, but will do nothing to ease the concerns of those on here who are trying to secure QSuite’s.
At the rate QR’s fleet are adding planes and cabin interiors from other airlines, QSuite’s will become a mythical cabin layout, often spoken about but never seen!

I agree.
I think there are a still few Oman Air A330s that are not taken up by QR. Maybe QR should grab these--at least they are common with the other A330s.
Also, I would assume because of the VS-codeshare flights to Australia coming up next year they would need the Q Suites planes for them.
