After emerging from the desert in 2021 and undergoing heavy maintenance in Germany, Qantas A380 VH-OQK is today flying 10,000 miles nonstop.
As this is being written, a Qantas Airbus A380 is winging its way to Australia on a mammoth 10,000-mile (16,000km) nonstop flight between Dresden in Germany and Sydney. The Superjumbo has been in Germany for heavy maintenance since early November and is due to be safely in a Qantas hangar around 15:10 AEDT (04:10 UTC) on Sunday, December 17.
