Qantas’ Sydney-London flights closer with Airbus deal
Qantas ’project sunrise plan is edging a step closer to reality.
It is set to announce a milestone order for Airbus A350-1000 jets.
With the A350 jets, Qantas would have the planes needed for non-stop Sydney-London flights.
The planes would allow non-stop near-20 hour flights on the flagship kangaroo route, possibly by 2025.
It has been a key focus for Qantas but was put on the backburner due to the pandemic.
The current one-stop route takes nearly 24 hours, although the shorter route from Perth, in Western Australia is non-stop.
Qantas said it would be making a major announcement on Monday.
The West Australian newspaper reported the multibillion-dollar Qantas order would include 12 A350s, as well as A321XLRs and A220s.
Qantas called non-stop Sydney-London flights the ‘final frontier’ in global aviation.
