Qantas’ first Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner has landed at Sydney Airport, the aircraft registered VH-ZNA touched down the runway in rainy conditions. Next March 2018 the airline will inaugurate the very first flight between Australia and Europe with a 17-hour flight between Perth and London Heathrow. The name ‘Great Southern Land’ was chosen for the first aircraft out of 45,000 suggestions from the travelling public. Each Dreamliner will be named after something that is uniquely Australian, including animals, places and literature.
