Qantas Airways makes history with the longest flight ever made: 24 hours and 24 minutes in the air between Australia and France

Qantas Airways has completed a record-breaking non-stop flight of 24 hours and 24 minutes between Melbourne, Australia, and Toulouse, France, as part of its Sunrise Project testing. The flight covered 23,000 kilometers across three continents and two oceans, marking a milestone in ultra-long-haul aviation. This test flight precedes the planned service between Sydney and London, which will begin in October 2027 using 12 Airbus A350-1000ULR aircraft. The new routes aim to reduce travel time by up to four hours compared to current services with layovers. The first tickets for these flights will go on sale in February 2027.
