Qantas A350’s “BIG UPGRADE” Shocked Everyone! Here’s Why
Intending to revolutionize long-haul travel with unparalleled comfort and cutting-edge technology, Qantas' Sunrise project has always attracted attention from aviation enthusiasts. As Qantas continues to set new standards in air travel, the latest project updates on the A3 50-1000 were also announced recently. So what are these new upgrades? How will the new aircraft be put into operation? Let's find out in today's episode!
Upgrade
Qantas A350’s “BIG UPGRADE” Shocked Everyone! Here’s Why
Qantas has ordered a total of 12 Ultra Long Range A3 50-1000’s, in addition to 12 Long Range aircraft as part of the launch of new, ultra-long scheduled routes that we have come to know as Project Sunrise. First of all, it operates the Sydney - London and Sydney - New York routes. These routes will be the longest ever, with flight times of around 20 hours non-stop.
The installation of an extra fuel tank on the Airbus A3 50-1000, also known as a third center fuel tank, has been certified following previous incidents. As a result, Qantas does not expect any further delays with the start of the above-mentioned ultra-long-haul routes from 20 26. The Australian national airline can only operate these ultra-long-haul scheduled services as the A3 50-1000 is provided with a greater range, and that is why an additional fuel tank is required.

Aviation regulators have asked the manufacturer to go back to the drawing board to design the additional fuel tank. Qantas International chief Cam Wallace said at the International Air Transport Association summit in Dubai that following the tweak, the extra tank was now certified. “The certification of the third centre fuel tank has happened, so that’s now been concluded,” he states.

I look forward to trying this out. I had great hopes for the QF 787 and found it to be the worst aircraft I've ever travelled on, in terms of space in Cattle Class. It wasn't the legroom which was tolerable -it was the shoulder room which was so limited that you needed to turn sideways in your seat in order to use a knife and fork. That, coupled with the cabin crew's decision to electronically dim the huge windows for almost the entire trans-Pacific crossing means I never want to travel on this type in the future. Hoping the 350 will leave a better impression.

I am actually, looking forward to experiencing direct Qantas flights to Australia from the UK.

Because at this point you have to go the indirect route via Bangkok or Singapore.

The price for a ticket on sunrise is going to be the deal breaker! Less seats suggest that the price in economy is not going to be cheap!!

[stephendoherty]

Every regulator doing certification is taking no chances now.

[nabilisur]

Maybe QANTAS Says "NO" to BOEING 777X for project sunrise and choose AIRBUS A350-1000 ulr for the perfectly fit.

[AnneMB]

Looking fwd to flying this option. Will need to fly to Sydney first. Wish Melbourne to London was an option. Sounds so exciting. 👏🇦🇺

Qantas’ Project Sunrise is set to revolutionize long-haul travel with non-stop flights from Melbourne to several international destinations. The initial routes for Project Sunrise flights from Melbourne are planned to include:

Melbourne to London: This route will connect Melbourne directly with London, offering a non-stop service that significantly reduces travel time.

Melbourne to New York: Another ambitious route that will link Melbourne and New York without any stopovers.

Following the launch of these routes, other potential destinations from Melbourne under Project Sunrise may include:

Paris: A direct flight from Melbourne to Paris is being considered, which would offer travelers a convenient connection to another major European city.

Frankfurt: Frankfurt is also on the list of potential direct destinations from Melbourne, providing access to Germany’s financial hub and Europe’s largest economy.

Miami and Sao Paulo: These cities have been mentioned as possible future destinations for Project Sunrise flights from Melbourne.

Great news for the safest airline in the world … go Airbus family

[budawang]

I'm interested to know what the operating costs of a Sydney to London flight will be compared to a flight with a refuelling stopover in Asia or the Middle East.

If you are in first class or business class, Economy, not sure there will be a discount option.

[bruceevennett]

“New standards in air travel” it is a shame that it doesn’t extend to customers or staff

[fowler]

Certification took longer than expected = a certification agency who do it's job unlike the FAA who does delegate everything to the manfacturer.

[tdkleffman]

nobody was shocked, the upgrade is available to any carrier that wants it!

[asjeot]

Qantas should have Starlink to provide on flight wifi

[PM-Snaggletooth]

Hopefully Qantas will go for the intermediate seating options rather than the cheapest, nastiest options available they always go for 😁👍

[bharathsriraman]

I think they can upgrade if they're doing so like a twin engine a380

[Mattplanespotter]

When does Qantas get its first A350-10 ?

[bigrobsydney]

Waiting too long. I want to be able to avoid being forced into a stop halfway to Europe. Why? And the layovers, and opportunities for luggage to go missing are just a pain in the arse. Not to mention the BS prices for even simple meals in airports.
