Qantas sets the stage for Project Sunrise: part two – network ripple effects

Also from the network perspective, the new Sydney-London route will add a new dynamic to what is a very lucrative one-stop market for multiple airlines between the UK and Australia. While overall nonstop capacity will still be much less than one-stop capacity, the shift in premium traffic could be more significant.
