Qantas flies world's longest route with A380

Since this week Qantas is serving the world's longest airline route with the Airbus A380. Qantas started regular non-stop flights in both directions between Sydney and Dallas/Fort Worth, a distance of 13,804 km. The Australian flag carrier used to fly the Boeing 747 on this route, which flew non-stop to Dallas/Fort Worth, but had to make a stopover in Brisbane on the return flight because of headwinds.

Qantas retires Boeing 767

Not only the Boeing 747 Jumbo Jet is taken out of service with the airlines, the 767 is under pressure too. Qantas is going to phase out its Boeing 767s and puts them in the desert where they will be stripped for parts.
