Qantas to Launch Record Nonstop Flight from Sydney to London in January 2024
Qantas Airways will launch its record-setting nonstop flight from Sydney to London on January 13, 2024. This significant achievement will be made possible using the Qantas 787-9 Dreamliner, which features a special 100th Anniversary livery. As Australia’s national airline, Qantas stands as the largest carrier in the region by both fleet size and the number of international routes offered.
Founded in November 1920, Qantas is notably the third-oldest airline still in operation today. Originally named Queensland and Northern Territory Aerial Services, it initiated services in Queensland and Northern Territory, earning the nickname "The Flying Kangaroo." This historic flight marks a pivotal moment, with Simon, a representative from Qantas, highlighting the importance of the "premium customer base" the airline intends to target with this new route.
As preparations for this groundbreaking flight continue, Qantas aims to set new standards for long-distance travel, demonstrating its commitment to innovation within the aviation industry.
