Qantas to order 12 ultra-long-range A350 or 777X next year for "Project Sunrise" routes
The Australian flag carrier has already carried out two research flights for these routes with no paying passenger on board on New York - Sydney and London - Sydney routes with its Dreamliners. The third and the last research flight with a Boeing 787-9 jet will be conducted next month. (airlinerwatch.com) Más...You do know that Qantas has never had a fatal accident, right?
Methinks it's more appropriate to call these megaroutes "Project Percocet", or "Project Jack Daniels".....cause for yours truly- there ain't enough of either on this planet to keep me sitting still for that long.
It's just initial order. Qantas wants more aircraft but also wants Airbus and Boeing to make some modifications on the A350 and 777X to order more. It's still a conflict point between Qantas and both manufacturers.
Simple question - 20 hours in economy on a premium fare?? 14 hours on an A 380 sector is bad enough.
I do regularly HKG-ZRH in ECO. 3-4-3 offering 17 inches width sucks, and should be disallowed by law!
