Qantas Airways resumes Project Sunrise and possible A350-1000 order

During this week’s half-year financial results session, Qantas (QF) presented an update on Project Sunrise and its related A350-1000 pending order. Qantas intends to order the Airbus A350-1000 by the middle of 2022 with a delivery date set for 2025.

In 2020, Qantas was about to launch what was arguably one of the most exciting commercial aviation ventures ever. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, however, the Australian flag carrier announced it would put the highly anticipated project on hold.
