-Close, but it's Qantas... there is no "u." :) (no hard feelings)
I'm not sure whether this would be a huge success (relatively speaking) -- or whether it's really that different from a 772LR. It seems that the cabin is the biggest change; everything else is pretty much a 772LR?

-Out of curiosity, does the A345 use auxiliary fuel tanks as well to achieve its maximum operational radius? I ask this because it seems to me and correct me if I am wrong, that the 772LR can only achieve its maximum range if these are used!

There are two fuel capacity options offered for the A340-500, but this is achieved by increasing the size of the integral centre tank to boost volume by 7,200 litres (1,900US gal), rather than by adding ACTs.

-Whats the point in a B777-200XLR when the B777-200LR can already fly long range routes non-stop including London to Sydney.

Looks like Qantas will buy the B777-200LR or a -200LR derivative soon. :)
