Qantas has taken an important step toward launching Project Sunrise, its long-dreamed-of goal to establish direct flights between Australia and the cities of New York and London.
The airline has ordered 12 Airbus A350-1000s planes, with hopes that the ultra-long-haul routes can begin operating in 2025.
Renderings for the plane interiors give some clues about what Qantas is planning for passengers on board.Meanwhile, the least expensive economy class seats will have a pitch of 33 inches, which compares with an average 30-31 inches on most carriers. "For more than 100 years, Qantas has been at the forefront of transforming the way the world travels, particularly through direct flights," Qantas Group CEO Alan Joyce said in a statement.
