Qantas CEO says Project Sunrise flights to start in 2027
Reuters03-25
TOULOUSE, France, March 25 (Reuters) - Australia's Qantas QAN.AX will start Project Sunrise ultra-long-haul flights in early 2027 after receiving the first of 12 dedicated Airbus AIR.PA A350-1000 aircraft at the end of next year, Chief Executive Vanessa Hudson said on Tuesday.
The Qantas boss also told reporters that Friday's fire and closure of London's Heathrow airport had forced the carrier to divert two flights to Paris and then bus passengers to London, adding such event can be "incredibly costly" to the industry.
