Among the most famous examples of this advancement is the Qantas “Kangaluruto” between Australia and the UK.
The early version of the 12,000-mile journey was first run in the mid-1930s, but the route is still strong today, but is about to travel even faster.
What used to have a 31-seat route over 12 days is set to become a 21-hour non-stop journey by 2027. Flights from Sydney to London are ready to become the longest route in the world thanks to the specially equipped Airbus A350.
Qantas CEO of International Cargo and Cargo Cam Wallace told Business Insider that ultra-long-haul planes “unleash the ability to fly from Australia to anywhere in the world.”
