Qantas eyes Chicago for new ultra-long-haul flight from Australia
Qantas Airways is evaluating direct flights from Australia to Chicago as the next step in its plan to add more ultra-long-haul destinations using an expanding fleet of Boeing 787 jetliners. Fresh from launching the first-ever direct passenger service to Europe -- linking Perth with London’s Heathrow hub -- Qantas will turn its attention to the US with the next batch of 4 787s due for delivery this year, CE Alan Joyce said Tuesday. A new service from Melbourne to San Francisco starting in September has already been announced and 787s will also replace 747 jumbos on Qantas’s existing Brisbane-Los Angeles-New York route. But also in the carrier’s thinking is a direct Brisbane-Chicago service or flights from the Queensland city to Seattle or Dallas, Joyce said. <br/>
