Britannia have tried in the past doing the Uk - Perth run with only one stop in Abu Dhabi,I seem to remember it was not a great success as the payload had to be restricted down to about 300 pax on the AUH-Perth sector due to the requirement to carry remote airport holding fuel into Perth and a third pilot.This made it economically unviable.
