This once-a-day flight from DFW Airport brings in over $400 million a year
That daily Airbus A380 flight over North Texas is more than a photo opportunity for plane spotters -- it’s bringing in more than $400 million a year for Australian carrier Qantas. (www.dallasnews.com) さらに...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Being as I live in n-w Arlington,Tx., I'm in the flight path of this magnificent a/c, has it's own distinctive roar. The schedule has changed since darkness comes sooner now,,arrival in early afternoon and departures after 8p.m. Texas time resulting in less sitting time at Terminal D. Also we visit Founder's Plaza, n.w. end DFW, few times a wk to 'spot' a/c. Bideing my time when we can make this journey to the "Land down-under".
I love Founder's Plaza. We go a couple times a month. They just need bathrooms, and another spotting area on the South end of the airport.

Amazing: Qantas Makes Huge Profit On A380 Flight From Dallas To Sydney
With everyone talking about Project Sunrise, research flights, Dreamliners, and pickle forks, some standout performers in the Qantas stable sneak under the radar. One of those standout performers is QF7/8, the A380 Sydney – Dallas – Sydney service. In the year ending 30 June 2019, this six-day a week service made Qantas a lazy USD$428 million in revenue. In the same period, total revenue for Qantas international operations was USD$5.132 billion. Qantas flies to 27 destinations in 14 countries. Some cities, such as Auckland or Singapore, have multiple city pairings operated by Qantas. But this one route, a 17-hour nonstop slog in an aircraft many decry as uneconomic to operate, brought in over 8% of total revenue for Qantas’ international operations last year. That’s not bad for a route that raised some eyebrows when initiated back in 2011.

And as a regular user of the flight alternatives were actively canvassed.
the flight was sensational and direct though the journey through US customs always added an additional 2-3 hours just getting to the desk..
regularly only 2/3 personnel on customs desks, long queues, poor air conditioning, always a greater than 2 hour slow progression inline..
maybe that has changed i the last 5 years??

Given any choice, I will not go back to Texass.
Texas is alright, just not Austin.
Have air freight revenues been factored in? These amount to a lot!
