board with South America,
South Africa and North
America as rising oil prices
squeeze profit margins.
The Australian airline
wants to start direct flights
connecting Sydney to New
York and London as soon as
- Chief Executive Alan
Joyce describes the services
as aviation’s final frontier.
The services aren’t yet a
sure thing. Qantas still
hasn’t decided on a Boeing
or Airbus plane that can fly
the route fully laden and
without a break. And it’s not
clear how passengers will
tolerate living in the cabin
for the better part of a day
and night.
“The things we learn on
these flights will be invalu-
able,” Joyce said on a call
Thursday.
Joyce has previously said
he plans to choose either
Boeing’s 777-8X or Airbus’
ultra-long-range A350-
900ULR and -1000ULR for
the flights. Competition for
the contract gives Qantas
more leverage over price.
In 2018, Joyce said Qantas
and the aircraft manufac-
turers were dreaming up
cabin interiors geared
toward surviving such mara-
thon flights — possibly in-
corporating bunks, child-
care facilities and even
somewhere to work out.
“We’re challenging ourselves
to think outside the box,” he
said. “Would you have the
space used for other activ-
ities — exercise, bar, creche,
sleeping areas and berths?
Boeing and Airbus have
been actually quite creative
in coming up with ideas.”
But later Joyce said
Quantas had ditched those
notions; instead, passengers
will be given a space to
stretch and have a drink of
water. The more spartan
comfort levels underscore
Qantas’challenge. There are
other barriers too: Although
Joyce said the planes pro-
posed by Boeing and Airbus
for the ultra-long-haul
flights can make the dis-
tance, neither can carry the
weight that Qantas initially
targeted.
Even after promoting
Project Sunrise for years,
Joyce said he’d be ruthless.
“We will kill the project” if the
economics don’t stack up, he
said.
In an interview with
Bloomberg Television on
Thursday, Joyce said the de-
lay to Boeing’s 777X pro-
gram hasn’t excluded the
U.S. manufacturer from the
deal. He said Boeing had of-
fered Qantas a “transi-
tional” solution to accom-
modate for any delay. He
didn’t elaborate.
“This is still a very com-
petitive race,” he said.
Whitley writes for
Bloomberg.
