Qantas starts research non-stop flights from Australia to London and NYC

Qantas will launch three ultra-long-haul research flights to gather new data about inflight passenger and crew health and wellbeing. The flights form part of planning for the company’s Project Sunrise – Qantas’ goal to operate regular, non-stop commercial flights from the east coast of Australia (Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne) to London and New York.

Instead of flying empty from Seattle to Australia, the aircraft will simulate two Project Sunrise routes – London and New York to Sydney. This will represent what the airlines describes
