Qantas og flygerne enige om å fortsette Project Sunrise - Australian Aviation-

QANTAS REACHES AGREEMENT WITH PILOTS OVER PROJECT SUNRISE

written by Adam Thorn March 30, 2020

Qantas and the Australian and International Pilots Association (AIPA) have reached an agreement that will allow its members to fly the new ‘Project Sunrise’ routes.

However, the airline appears to have confirmed earlier reports that its order for the 12 Airbus A350-1000s, necessary to travel non-stop from London and New York to Sydney, has been delayed until after the coronavirus situation abates.

The Sydney Morning Herald obtained an email from AIPA president Mark Sedgwick possibly hinting that the COVID-19 crisis, which has stood down two-thirds of Qantas staff, may have played a part.

Sedgwick said, “This is an incredibly uncertain time for our members, with many stood down from flying on no pay, with no end in sight. When we return to flying, our expert pilots will be at the helm as part of Qantas’ ultra long-haul services.”
