昔、シドニーやメルボルンからロンドンやニューヨークへ行くには、1週間以上かかりました。
It used to take more than a week to travel from Sydney or Melbourne to London or New York.
。
However, Qantas Airways has announced plans to operate direct flights using new aircraft.
。
The name of this airplane is Airbus A350-1000ULR.
。
It is equipped with a special fuel tank and can fly continuously for about 22 hours.
。
This plan is called the Sunrise Project.
。
The reason is that, because the flight time is extremely long, you can see the sunrise twice during the flight.
。
The new direct flights are scheduled to begin in the first half of 2027.
。
As a result, the flight time from London or New York to the east coast of Australia will be shortened by about four hours.
。
Until now, planes could only fly nonstop as far as the west coast of Australia.
。
However, with a new airplane, you can fly nonstop to the East Coast.
。
Qantas Airways started this project in 2017, but it was delayed a bit due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
。
Qantas Airways has ordered 12 Airbus A350-1000ULR aircraft.
。
The first unit is scheduled to be delivered in October next year.
。
The new airplane has 238 seats, which is fewer than other airplanes of the same type.
。
Instead, there is a healthcare area where passengers can relax.
。
First-class seats are also specially designed.
。
Qantas Airways strives to keep passengers healthy even on long-haul flights.
