Qantas boss Alan Joyce daring to dream non-stop
In June Qantas also announced a research partnership with the University of Sydney’s Charles Perkins Centre to examine ways to reduce jet-lag on long-haul flights, which will be a critical part of its network rethink.
The study’s first two participants are model Jesinta Campbell and Australian Rugby Sevens captain Ed Jenkins, and the airline has invited some of its frequent flyers to be involved in the trials.
Joyce was at the university a week ago to check on the progress of the work with its Chancellor and former QBE chairman Belinda Hutchinson, who is a big backer of the project.
