Qantas will launch world’s longest flight to London in 2025
Qantas plans to take the crown for the world’s longest flight in late 2025.
It updated plans for its flagship Kangaroo route from Sydney to London.
It hopes to launch nonstop London flights from Sydney in 2025 which will last 20 hours, covering 17,020 kilometres.
It has been several years in the making under Qantas’ ‘Project Sunrise’ initiative.
The ultra-long London flights will operate on Airbus A350-1000 jets, which Qantas describes as the ‘ultimate long-range aircraft.’
It will carry 238 passengers with a four-class service.
It will make the service pay with around 40% of seats in premium class.
The current title holder for the world’s longest flight is Singapore Airline’s New York service.
