Australia’s Qantas cancels one Dreamliner, 14 still on order

Australian airline Qantas Friday said it was cutting its order for Dreamliner aircraft by one, but said it had planned this move before the Boeing jets were grounded worldwide and still had 14 on order.

Qantas had initially said it would not be changing its order for 15 of the fuel-efficient aircraft after a Japanese jet was forced into an emergency landing on Wednesday, triggering the halting of flights.

But in a statement on Friday on an update to its fleet, it said it had cancelled a single Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner on order for low-cost carrier Jetstar.
