Qantas Project Sunrise goes ahead, 12 new A350-1000s ordered

[SYD]

I don't expect the 380 to go away anytime soon on the current QF1/2 route utilising SIN as a major hub for other cities to connect to.

The a380 in of itself is still a standout aircraft to fly in and plenty will want to do this journey rather than direct. It's not one or the other.

But when they go, the non Sunrise A350s will have a lot less seats, so justifiable to maintain non-stop and one stop.
