Airbus A350-1000ULR Sets 23,155 km Record Flight, Validates Qantas Project Sunrise

Airbus completed a 23,155 km test flight from Melbourne to Toulouse, setting a distance record and validating the A350-1000ULR for Qantas' Project Sunrise ultra-long-haul routes. The flight, part of a test campaign, confirms the aircraft's range capability, though commercial viability and regulatory approvals remain pending. This milestone de-risks Qantas' non-stop Australia-Europe ambitions, but no immediate market impact is expected.
