0230 GMT - Qantas, which plans to begin ultralong-haul flights from Australia to North America and Europe with new A350s in an initiative dubbed Project Sunrise, says the first A350 for Project Sunrise is expected in the second half of calendar year 2026. When asked about Project Sunrise during a press conference, CEO Vanessa Hudson says the exact time of delivery will firm up in the future, but that "we still feel that Airbus is delivering right on time." Pilots will need to do training flights, though, so when asked if that means passenger flights will actually begin in 2027, she says "that is what we've actually been saying." Last year, Qantas said manufacturing delays had pushed back the delivery of A350s by six months to mid-2026. Qantas said in an investor presentation today that it is still incurring minor aircraft delivery delays. (mike.cherney@wsj.com; @Mike_Cherney)
