I think it a bit funny that people think that either manufacturer are going to build something ‘
just for Qantas’.
The reality is, once an aircraft is flying that has the range to open up new route possibilities airlines will look around for unserved markets and fly them direct.
How about Japan to anywhere in South America. Seoul to Rio.
Perth to LA
LA to Johannesburg.
Auckland to Athens/Istanbul.
Shanghai/Beijing-Lima (as a gateway to all of South America).
I guess my point is, with every leap in aircraft range airlines across the globe have found new routes to try, this should be no different. I do realise we are getting toward a limit of unconnected points however I don’t think we are there yet.
