Airbus has set a Guinness World Record for the longest non-stop flight by a commercial passenger aircraft, covering 23,155 kilometers in 24 hours and 24 minutes. The A350-1000ULR aircraft, developed for Qantas, aims to facilitate direct flights between Sydney and London, as well as New York. The test flight, which took off from Melbourne and landed in Toulouse, involved crossing three continents and two oceans, with a crew of 13 onboard. The aircraft's extended range is attributed to an additional fuel tank, allowing for longer flights. Qantas has ordered 12 A350-1000ULR planes, with the first delivery scheduled for April 2027.
