Qantas has initiated extensive preparations to support its upcoming fleet expansion with a significant investment in personnel training. Specifically, the airline is dedicating resources to train over 360 pilot professionals and 1,200 cabin crew members. This intensive program directly corresponds to the operation of twelve new Airbus A350-1000 Ultra Long Range (ULR) aircraft.

Qantas’s strategy underscores their commitment to ensuring operational readiness for long-haul routes utilizing the advanced A350-1000 ULR model.
