Qantas still planning London, NYC ultra-long haul flights
Qantas still plans to activate ‘Project Sunrise’ ultra-long haul flights linking eastern Australia with London and New York City.
Despite almost two years of uncertainty the world’s longest nonstop flights are still part of the airline’s plans.
Qantas CEO Alan Joyce told CNN it will re-examine the ultra-long haul routes next year with an aim of launching within two to three years.
Project Sunrise remains ‘in the pipeline’ Joyce said, but its immediate focus is getting back to normal and refreshing its domestic fleet.
