While in QF I only flew the B747/B767/B744/A380 hence cannot say, since retiring, if/what other types may still be carrying paper charts.

From memory the A380 did not carry paper approach charts some 6-7 years ago. (replaced by a Jepp-app on company issued i-pads)
...but recall large scale Jepperson enroute charts were plonked on the centre pedestal "just to be sure".

As the A380 fleet is still in mothballs...and I have since retired...sorry, I have no insider information on what the new policy might be.
