I've seen a few posts about the fleet replacements being all done and dusted in a few years thus freeing up a whole bucketload of cash. What is the consensus on the 777-200s? As at 01/04 the 'Seat weighted Average age' for them is 11 years.
I can't help but notice that the A320 short hauls average age is 12.7 years and Air NZ is in the process of replacing them.
Is the expectation is that they will run them into the ground like the 767s or will they replace them once the current fit out reaches end of life, there are a lot of similarities in size and range with the 787-9?
