Qantas Operates Record-Breaking Flight with Airbus A350-1000ULR
On July 29, Qantas operated a record-breaking flight using the ultra-long-range Airbus A350-1000ULR. The aircraft took off from Melbourne and flew for over 24 hours—specifically 24 hours and 24 minutes—covering an impressive distance of 23,075 kilometers (14,338 miles) before landing in Toulouse, France. This flight marks a significant milestone for long-haul aviation. The A350-1000ULR is set to debut on Qantas' nonstop Sydney-London route starting in 2027, which will be one of the longest commercial flights globally when it launches.
