Qantas’ Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner will make its first ultra long-haul research flight from New York to Sydney on Friday October 18th.
The Australian airline’s “Project Sunrise” venture, announced last month, aims to test ways to improve the health and wellbeing of passengers and crew on ultra long-haul flights.
The 19-hour flight from New York to Sydney could mark the world’s first non-stop flight between Sydney and New York operated by a commercial airline. No airline has ever completed this route without stopping.
