Australians living on the east coast could soon fly non-stop to London and New York as Qantas looks to expand its ultra-long-haul routes.
The airline will order more than 150 new Airbus jets today – the largest in its 102-year history – as it looks towards launching record-breaking direct flights from Sydney to London and New York.
Qantas had intended to launch the flights called Project Sunrise early next year but the pandemic put the plans on hold. A new Airbus A350-1000 featuring the Qantas logo has travelled from Perth to Sydney for the announcement, which is expected later this morning.
