Qantas unveils plane taking Aussie athletes to Paris for Olympic Games

Qantas has unveiled the plane that will take the Australian Olympic Team to Paris for the 2024 Olympic Games.

The Boeing 787 Dreamliner has a green and gold "Go Australia" decal stuck to its side in support of the team.

The Dreamliner will carry 450 Olympians and 170 Paralympians from Perth Airport to Paris on a direct flight, which will be just a bit shorter than the 17-hour route Qantas flies from Perth to London.

Qantas is also asking its pilots for submissions of interest to fly the plane to Paris and back.

Five-time Olympian Melissa Wu told 9News the unveiling of the jet made her excited for Paris 2024.

"We're fresh off our Olympic trial, so finding out I made the team and then this...the hype's building now, I'm getting really excited, I can't wait," Wu said.

The Olympic Games start on July 26 while the Paralympics start on August 28.
