Qantas' 787-9 Dreamliner, registered VH ZNJ named Longreach after the town in Australia where Qantas starts its first historical flight on 16 November 1910, has landed in Sydney on 15 November 2019 at 12.28 pm after 19 hours and 19 minutes of flight from London.
All carbon emissions were offset.
On 16 November 2019, the Longreach aircraft departs for Hong Kong as QF127 to announce Qantas' 99th birthday before returning to Melbourne as QF030.
The historical flight QF7879 that landed in Sydney after flying across 11 countries including the UK, the Netherlands, Germany, Poland, Belarus, Russia, Kazakhstan, China, the Philippines and Indonesia, and the memorable Sydney - Hong Kong - Melbourne flights have kicked off the celebrations of Qantas centenary although at press time Qantas is celebrating 99 years old on 16 November 2019.
On 16 November 2019, Qantas publishes on-line its 100 years of history on its official web-site www.qantas.com.au.
Next, Qantas' inflight duty-free store on-line at www.qantasstore.com.au is selling merchandise marking the airline's 100 years.
Historical route maps were re-printed. Mugs indicating the past and current logos of Qantas and shirts donning the Qantas centenary logo and much more are on sale on-line.
The eleven-piece coin collection sets produced by Royal Australian Mint featuring key milestones and images of Qantas aircraft from across the decades including the Avro, Catalina Flying Boat, Boeing 707 and 747 and the A380 are also on sale at the Qantas Store. The centrepiece is a Kangaroo copper coin similar to the original Australian penny, which inspired Qantas' iconic Kangaroo logo.
However, there are no Qantas aircraft postcards celebrating the historical aircraft legacy of the Australian airline.
Meanwhile, the Longreach aircraft is operating scheduled flights from Australia to all Qantas long-haul destinations through the airline's 100th year in 2020.
Qantas celebrates its 100th year of flight operations on 16 November 2020.
Happy Birthday, Qantas!
