Qantas' Project Sunrise Faces Further Delays as Airbus Supply Chain Issues Persist
Qantas has once again postponed the launch of its ambitious Project Sunrise flights, pushing the start date back by six months to mid-2026. This second delay affects the highly anticipated non-stop services from Sydney and Melbourne to London and New York. The setback is attributed to ongoing supply chain disruptions at Airbus, which are slowing the production of the specialized A350-1000ULR aircraft. Specifically, the manufacturer is experiencing hold-ups related to the new First and Business Class cabin interiors, impacting the delivery timeline for Qantas.
