Following successful trials with Qantas, the Federal Government is investing $56.1 million over four years to introduce digital declaration cards at all capital city international airports by the end of the year. Initially available via web forms, the digital cards aim to streamline passenger processing, improve data collection, and boost tourism by making arrivals faster and more efficient.<\/p>\n

London Named First Destination for Qantas’ Project Sunrise<\/h2>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”2%||5%||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Qantas Group has officially confirmed that London will be the maiden destination for its highly anticipated Project Sunrise flights. Utilising a bespoke Airbus A350-1000ULR<\/strong> fitted with an additional 20,000-litre fuel tank, the aircraft will be capable of flying non-stop for up to 22 hours<\/strong> over a distance of more than 16,000 kilometres.<\/p>\n

The direct Sydney-to-London route is scheduled to take off in October 2027<\/strong>, marking the first time Qantas will link the two cities completely non-stop since it first launched the Kangaroo Route with seven stops back in 1947. Tickets for the historic service will go on sale in February 2027<\/strong>, complementing the airline’s existing transit routes via Perth and Singapore.<\/p>\n

In preparation for the aircraft’s arrival next year, Qantas pilots have already commenced extensive training using Australia’s first A350 simulator in Sydney, alongside training programs with British Airways in the UK and Cathay Pacific in Hong Kong. Once delivered, the ultra-long-range aircraft will initially fly shorter routes across the Tasman before debuting on the London route.<\/p>\n
