Qantas has revealed its newest Airbus A321XLR, sporting a livery inspired by the Great Barrier Reef and named Coral Sea.
The aircraft is the seventh of 48 next-generation A321XLRs on order for the fleet and will be flown from Hamburg to Australia next month.
The Great Barrier Reef livery pays tribute to one of Australia’s most visited natural wonders, which welcomed more than 2.3 million visitors last year.
Qantas operates more than 1,600 domestic and international return services in and out of Queensland every week, playing a significant role in connecting visitors to the reef and surrounding communities.
The airline has partnered with the Great Barrier Reef Foundation since 2009 and has committed $10 million over 10 years through the Reef Restoration Fund, supporting scientists, Traditional Owners and local tourism operators working to restore corals across the Great Barrier Reef and other Australian reefs.
Meanwhile ANA has unveiled new aircraft designs in celebration of Pokémon’s 30th anniversary.
The specially designed ‘Pokémon Jet Red’ will operate on domestic routes beginning at the end of July. Pokémon Jet Green will serve international routes.
