Australian airline Qantas said it is kicking off an ultra long-haul flight program called Project Sunrise, under which it will provide nonstop service from Australia to destination cities across the globe, including New York and London. The flights are slated to begin from Sydney in late 2025.
Qantas said it is ordering 12 Airbus A350-1000s to operate the planned new flights. The aircraft “will have the range for direct flights between Australia and any city in the world,” the company said. The planes will also have cabins specially designed to increase passenger comfort on long-haul flights. And will include common areas called wellbeing zones.
