Qantas’s “Project Sunrise” ultra-long-range flights using Airbus A350 aircraft are delayed as Airbus pushes back delivery schedules for some of the jets earmarked for the service. Multiple outlets report that the A350-1000 aircraft—ordered by Qantas and intended for the airline’s planned world’s-longest nonstop routes—will not be available on the timetable previously outlined. The West Australian describes the delay as a setback to Qantas’s aim to begin the world’s longest non-stop flights next year. One Mile at a Time adds that Qantas has a couple of dozen A350s on order, with some to be used for Project Sunrise routes including services from Sydney and Melbourne to New York and London. The reporting does not indicate a specific new launch date, but the delay is linked to the aircraft delivery timing rather than changes to the planned destinations. Overall, the sources present the postponement as part of the broader schedule adjustments affecting Airbus deliveries, with downstream impacts for Qantas’s long-haul expansion plans.
