from Sunrise · host LiSTNR
Qantas is launching Project Sunrise in October 2025, featuring the world's first non-stop commercial flight from Sydney to London aboard a specially modified Airbus aircraft. The 17,000-kilometre journey will take approximately 21 hours, reducing travel time from the 45 days required by steamship in 1926. The aircraft features extensive weight-saving modifications, including lighter crockery, cutlery and furniture, with an additional fuel tank installed to make the record-breaking flight possible.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
