Project Sunrise has long been presented as one of the aviation industry's most ambitious projects. Qantas intends to operate nonstop flights from Australia to destinations including London and New York, with journeys expected to last between 19 and 22 hours depending on winds and routing. The airline has now confirmed October 2027 as the target launch for the first Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport (SYD)–London Heathrow Airport (LHR) service, with tickets expected to go on sale earlier that year. The flights will be operated by one of 12 orderedAirbus A350-1000ULRs capable of flying up to 10,000 nautical miles (18,520 km), around 1,000 nautical miles (1,852 km) farther.
