Monash University engineers have developed what they say is an “ultra-fast-charging” lithium-sulfur battery that can power long-haul electric vehicles, commercial drones, and electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft, among other applications.
Starting 11 June, flights will operate three times per week every Monday, Thursday and Saturday on 737 MAX 8 aircraft, offering connections through Fiji to and from North America via Los Angeles, Dallas-Fort Worth and Vancouver.
The upgrades, expected to begin early this year, will allow the airport to handle larger aircraft such as QantasLink Dash 8 Q400s. Burnie is currently served by QantasLink, Rex, and Sharp Airlines flights.
