The Kangaroo Route is Finally Without Stops: Qantas Airways Announces Service Between London and Perth
“When Qantas created the Kangaroo Route to London in 1947, it took four days and nine stops. Now it will take just 17 hours from Perth non-stop”, said Alan Joyce — who is the chief executive officer of Qantas Group — according to this official press release from Qantas Airways. “This is a game-changing route flown by a game-changing aircraft. Australians have never had a direct link to Europe before, so the opportunities this opens up are huge.”
The perceived ebullience of Joyce in his statement is in response to the first direct link between Australia and Europe — using Western Australia as a hub — of what is to be the shortest and fastest version of the Kangaroo Route in the 70 year history of Qantas Airways: regular passenger service of non-stop flights between Perth and London operated by Qantas Airways with Boeing 787-9 “Dreamliner” airplanes capable of carrying 236 passengers.
Tickets for seats on the flights — whose distance will be 14,498 kilometers and last for a duration of approximately 17 hours — will go on sale in…
