Project Sunrise flights likely to commence in 2023: Joyce
Qantas is likely to launch its Project Sunrise flights on a commercial basis from 2023, and believes the initiative could lead to multiple ultra-long-haul routes to Australia from Europe and North America. "The plan we're working towards is making a decision on the business case by the end of this year," said CE Alan Joyce. "And it will likely be [launched] from 2023 when the aircraft are available." Joyce says the airline wants to operate the ultra-long-haul flights daily. "We know the demand is there, we know people are interested in it, we know people want to fly these and save the time," he says. Qantas also needs to ensure its on-board product is suitable, he says. The airline is looking to configure the Project Sunrise aircraft with 4 classes, which will include a special area for economy passengers to be able to exercise. <br/>
