Qantas announced on Monday it will launch the world's longest non-stop commercial flight, with passengers set to spend 19 hours in the air travelling from Sydney to London by the end of 2025. After five years of planning, the airline said it was ordering 12 Airbus A350-1000 aircraft to operate the "Project Sunrise" flights to make any city just one flight away from Australia. "This will be for ... any city in Australia to anywhere in the world we literally can operate to," said Qantas Group CEO Alan Joyce. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
