The debut of 'Project Sunrise' next year is one of the most anticipated developments in the history of Australia's flag carrier, Qantas Airways. The landmark new route will establish the longest nonstop air bridge in history when flights commence to connect the East Coast of Australia to London and New York. To make the 22-hour flights possible, Airbus has been developing a special ultra-long-range AirbusA350-1000 variant, which will be staffed by 18 crew members on every flight.
