根据澳洲商务旅行Executive Traveller 报道 Qantas 将使用B787-9 测试悉尼 - 伦敦/纽约航线 本个航班将只有只有40人参与测试,在开通超长途航班上,Qantas 越闯越勇!
具体报道如下:
Qantas will run a series of non-stop flights from London and New York to Sydney from October 2019 as research into its ambitious Project Sunrise program.
The flights will be made by three factory-fresh Boeing 787 jets and used to assess factors such as wellbeing and comfort for both crew and passengers, as well as researching crew rostering and break times – although only 40 people will be on board each flight to ensure that the Dreamliners can make the trip with a single load of fuel.
And before you can ask: no, Qantas won't be selling seats on these special flights. Other than crew, those in the cabin will mostly be Qantas employees taking part in testing.
They'll be fitted with wearable technology devices and taking part in specific experiences at varying stages of the approximately 19 hour flights.
