Qantas’ Project Sunrise Is Rewriting The Rules Of Ultra-Long-Haul Travel

Project Sunrise is coming soon. This is a collective plan by Qantas to launch new ultra-long-haul routes mainly from its hubs on the East Coast of Australia, connecting the nation’s largest cities nonstop to Europe and North America. The name is a reference to the fact that passengers on some flights may be able to view two sunrises, and while the world’s current longest nonstop flight, from New York-JFK to Singapore, has a typical flight time of roughly 18 hours, these flights are expected to last between 20 and 22 hours.
