What is Project Sunrise?

Project Sunrise is Qantas's ambitious plan to operate ultra-long-haul non-stop flights, connecting cities like Sydney and London directly. The name evokes the idea of seeing two sunrises on a single journey due to the extreme duration. These flights aim to cut down travel time and offer a premium, albeit lengthy, direct experience for passengers, using specially adapted aircraft.
