Virgin Atlantic Airways today announced that it is to launch daily scheduled services between London and Sydney via Hong Kong. The service will be operated by an Airbus A340-600 aircraft and will commence on 7 December this year. The A340-600 is the longest plane in the world and in future years this will be replaced on the route by the Airbus A380, the biggest plane in the world.

Sir Richard Branson, Chairman of Virgin Atlantic said:

"I am delighted that Virgin Atlantic is now able to offer flights to Australia - everyone at Virgin has long wished for us to operate to Australia and today's announcement really is a dream come true. Australians have also been waiting for many years for the BA-Qantas duopoly to be broken and for new competition to be introduced.
