Qantas will be retiring all its
747s in the next few years as their replacements, a mix of A380s and 787s, come in.

I expect Qantas have all the A380s they’re going to get (twelve). They originally planned for 20, but their eight remaining orders are postponed indefinitely.
The 787 will be a big part of their strategy from here on in. Their first has finally entered service in the last month or two.
