Qantas Uses Perth–Rome Route as Real-World Test Ahead of Project Sunrise Ultra-Long-Haul Flights

Qantas ' Project Sunrise has been one of the aviation industry's closely watched initiatives. It is designed to connect Australia's East Coast with cities such as London and New York nonstop. To support these ambitions, Airbus has developed a dedicated ultra-long-haul version of the Airbus A350-1000, known as the Airbus A350-1000ULR . The carrier and manufacturer have been working on the program for nearly a decade. Just last month, the program reached a major milestone.
