SYDNEY – Qantas’ flying tribute to the Qantas Wallabies took to the air for
the first time today.
Qantas Group General Manager Marketing Neil Ross said the detailed Boeing 767-600
aircraft was a key element of the airline’s sponsorship of the Qantas Wallabies, and an
important opportunity to showcase the airline’s support for the team before the first match
of the international season tomorrow.
“Qantas is proud to support the Qantas Wallabies as they begin their final preparations for
the road to France and The Rugby World Cup 2007,” he said.
“This year is a particularly important year for rugby, and the Qantas Wallabies are working
hard to unite fans all around the world.”
The aircraft features the green and gold colours of the Qantas Wallabies and the iconic
Qantas kangaroo image has donned the team’s scarf. Other features on the aircraft
include the recently launched website, www.worldwidewallabies.com.
Qantas has worn its support for a number of sporting teams in the past, including the
Qantas Socceroos during their World Cup campaign in 2006, the Commonwealth Games
in 2006, and the Qantas Wallabies during their involvement in The Rugby World Cup in
2003.
