Qantas Airways needs to fly travellers from Sydney to New York and London ceaselessly. Above all, the Australian carrier needs to ensure voyagers can deal with the outing.
The carrier reported on Thursday that it will run three "ultra-whole deal research flights" - adding up to around 19 hours each - to perceive how travellers and team handle the experience in the not so distant future.

The carrier additionally needs new concurrences with team to work the flights. In the case of everything goes right, he stated, the carrier could put in a request this year and dispatch the courses by 2023. Thursday's declaration said officials hope to settle on a choice about pushing ahead by this December.
"Flying relentless from the East Coast of Australia to London and New York is really the last outskirts in avionics, so we're resolved to do all the basis to get this right," was advised to the sources.
