The transformation is inside. Airbus has built an additional rear centre tank directly into the aircraft\u2019s structure \u2014 a 20,000-litre reservoir that lifts the jet\u2019s range by around 1,000 nautical miles. With it come a modified fuel system and a redesigned, lighter galley-cooling architecture meant to keep meals fresh across flights that can run most of a day.<\/p><p>The first flight focused on exactly these changes: general performance checks and a workout for the new fuel-system architecture. It opens a roughly two-month certification campaign to sign off the modifications before MSN 707 is retrofitted to Qantas\u2019 commercial cabin standard. The aircraft was flown by Airbus experimental test pilots Thomas Wilhelm and Anthony Flynn, with a full test-engineering team aboard.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" style=\"margin:0 0 24px\"><img data-opt-id=1830251189  fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"skip-lazy\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" loading=\"eager\" src=\"https:\/\/ml5psubhxdln.i.optimole.com\/cb:0e0_.b970\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/ig:avif\/https:\/\/migflug.com\/jetflights\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/06\/airbus-a350-1000-in-flight.jpg\" alt=\"An Airbus A350-1000 in flight\" style=\"display:block;width:100%!important;max-width:100%!important;height:auto!important;border-radius:6px\"><figcaption style=\"font-size:13px;color:#777;text-align:center;margin-top:6px;font-style:italic\">An A350-1000 \u2014 the ULR is the same airframe given an extra rear centre fuel tank for 1,000 nautical miles of additional range.

In 2017, Qantas threw down a challenge it called Project Sunrise: link the east coast of Australia directly to London and New York, with no stop in between. The Sydney\u2013London leg alone is close to 10,000 nautical miles and could keep passengers airborne for as long as 22 hours \u2014 the longest scheduled flights ever flown.<\/p><p>Qantas has ordered twelve A350-1000ULRs for the job, alongside twelve standard A350-1000s for the rest of its long-haul network. The second ULR \u2014 and the first due to be handed to the airline, in April 2027 \u2014 is already deep in final assembly. From there, the era of one-hop Australia-to-Europe travel finally begins.<\/p>\n<div style=\"position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;overflow:hidden;margin:24px 0\"><iframe class=\"skip-lazy\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" loading=\"eager\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/SuIscoyg7PM\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;border:0;border-radius:8px\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">A European answer to the long-haul question<\/h2><p>The ULR becomes the fourth passenger member of the A350 family, joining the -900, the -900ULR and the -1000. It is a quietly significant moment for Europe\u2019s aerospace champion: by the end of April 2026 the A350 had drawn 1,579 orders from 68 customers, with more than 700 already flying for 41 operators.<\/p><p>Where the four-engined superjumbo once defined long-haul ambition, the future now belongs to efficient twins able to fly further on less fuel. With the A350-1000ULR, the longest journey a passenger can buy will be flown on two engines \u2014 and built in Toulouse.<\/p><p><em>Sources: Airbus press release (2 June 2026); Aerotime; Simple Flying; The Points Guy; Aerospace Global News.<\/em><\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#f0f4ff;border-left:4px solid #5C91FF;padding:16px 20px;margin:32px 0 8px;border-radius:0 8px 8px 0\"><p style=\"margin:0 0 8px;font-weight:600;color:#333\">Related Posts<\/p><p style=\"margin:4px 0\"><a href=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/jetflights\/2026-transatlantic-route-boom-a321xlr-narrowbody-new-routes\/\">The 2026 Transatlantic Boom: 37 New Routes<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On the morning of 2 June, a pale green, primer-coated jet lifted off from Toulouse and climbed past 41,000 feet over the south of France.
