Qantas’s dream of non-stop Sydney-to-London and New York flights just got pushed back again—thanks to Airbus delays with the specialized A350-1000URL jets. Originally slated for 2023, then 2026, the first plane won’t arrive until April 2027, with full service expected by November of that year. Despite the setback, Qantas is already training pilots and preparing planes in paint shops, with test flights imminent. These ultra-long-haul flights could slash travel time by up to four hours, honoring the airline’s legacy with a nod to historic “sunrise” flights over WWII skies. Passengers will have to wait a little longer, but the dream remains on track. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
