There were rumours some time ago that BA had asked Airbus to develop a version of the A350 that could do LHR-SYD but that seems to have died.
Thanks TURIN,
If true I wonder why.
So this, along with the shelving of the B777X project, leads one to ask why is QF management pushing so hard to get the next EBA signed-off when there is no suitable equipment available now or in the near future. Why the rush?
ruebee,
Your question is valid in consideration of
real ULH operations. I do think however, this and the many other good comments relating to actual ULH ops only serve to mitigate what is really happening here.
