The New Qantas Airbus A350-1000 Coming In 2026

In 2026, Qantas Airways is set to usher in a new chapter of ultra-long-haul aviation with the arrival of the specially configured Airbus A350-1000 under its flagship “Project Sunrise” program. These aircraft are purpose-built to bridge the vast distances between the East Coast of Australia and major global hubs like London and New York. This represents a strategic leap that promises to redefine what nonstop travel from Australia can mean. Beyond just range, these new jets are engineered around passenger wellbeing, with tailored cabin layouts and premium experiences for what will become some of the world’s longest commercial services.
