Qantas has extended its Airbus A380 network by
launching flights between Sydney and London via Singapore. The airline
will initially operate three A380 services each week on the Kangaroo
Route.
“Since we operated our first A380 service
between Melbourne and Los Angeles in October last year,
this
aircraft has generated extremely positive feedback from our
customers,” said Qantas Executive General Manager, Mr John
Borghetti. “Following the delivery of a third aircraft at the end
of December, we are now ready to introduce the
Qantas A380 to
the Singapore and UK markets.”
QF31 will operate from Sydney to London via
Singapore on Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays, with the return QF32
operating on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays, also via
Singapore.
The Qantas A380 is configured with 450 seats
across four classes:
- First class - 14 suites
- Business class -
72 new fully-flat Skybed sleeper seats
- Premium Economy class
- 32 extra wide seats; and
- Economy class - 332
state-of-the-art seats styled by Marc Newson and manufactured by
Recaro.
Qantas will take delivery of a further four
A380s in 2009, with the next aircraft due in May.
