Of course, it was not a non-stop flight but Sydney, Darwin, Singapore, Calcutta, Karachi, Cairo, Tripoli (Castel Benito), Rome and London. Approximately 12,000 km, the flight lasted for 9 days, and for that flight, Qantas deployed Lockheed Constellation aircraft with 29 passengers and 11 crew members on board.

Qantas Group CEO Alan Joyce stressed during a press conference that this line is designed to be served by a Boeing 787-9 aircraft.
