Long-range record: Airbus stayed in the air for 24 hours

An Airbus A350 designed for ultra-long-haul flights set a new record by flying non-stop for 24 hours and 24 minutes, covering over 23,000 kilometers from Melbourne to Toulouse. The flight surpassed the previous record set in 2005 by nearly two hours. This test flight was part of Qantas' 'Project Sunrise,' which aims to introduce non-stop flights from Sydney to London by October 2027 and eventually to New York. Over 3.6 million people tracked the flight via Flightradar24, making it one of the most-watched flights in history. Qantas has ordered twelve specially modified A350-1000ULR aircraft, capable of carrying 238 passengers, with deliveries expected to begin in April 2027.
