The Australian Olympic Committee is celebrating the unveiling of the “Go Australia” livery on the Qantas Boeing 787 Dreamliner that will carry our Olympic Team with pride at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
Qantas has been carrying Australian athletes for more than 70 years as the Australian Olympic Teams’ official carrier.
Australian Olympic Team Chef de Mission for Paris 2024 Anna Meares welcomed Qantas’ ongoing support for Australian athletes.
“Qantas has been supporting Australian Olympic dreams for generations,” Ms Meares said.
“We are thrilled Qantas will be proudly sharing their support of Australian Olympians on their 787 Dreamliner.
“As an Olympian, flying on that Qantas plane home from a Games, to meet friends and family in the Qantas hangar welcome home, is such a special memory.
“I’m looking forward to our 2024 Olympic Team making their own Qantas memories on their journey to and from the Paris Games,” Ms Meares said.
Qantas Group CEO Vanessa Hudson said Qantas and the Australian Olympic Team have a rich shared history.
“Qantas has a long and proud history of supporting the Australian Olympic and Paralympic Teams, from first flying Olympic athletes to the London Games in 1948.
In addition to unveiling its ‘GO AUSTRALIA’ Boeing 787 Dreamliner, the Flying Kangaroo is preparing to launch its new Perth to Paris route next month and this weekend will resume its direct flights from Perth to Rome for the third year running.
Qantas is the only airline to offer direct flights between Australia and continental Europe.
