Airbus is throwing its hat into the ring in a Qantas project to
run non-stop flights to Australian east-coast cities from New York
and London, the European aircraft maker said Thursday.
Airbus will offer its longer-range A350-1000 to Qantas, in
competition with Boeing's 777-8, for the flights, which would
remove the need for interim stops in locations such as Singapore.
The first of three technical test flights will take place this week
using a lightly-loaded Boeing 787 Dreamliner flying from New York
to Sydney.
Airbus said that other destinations could eventually benefit if
the scheme is successful.
"This is a challenge that Qantas has tabled to conquer the last
frontiers of non-stop air travel," said Maria Luisa Luca Ugena,
Airbus Head of A350 Product Marketing.
