It had flown non-stop from Toulouse to Melbourne in just over 19 hours, carrying four Airbus test pilots and five flight-test engineers. The duration and distance of the return journey exceeded a famous Boeing test flight from 2005. Neither Qantas nor Airbus had claimed a formal record for the latest flight at the time of publication. The test aircraft, identified as MSN 707 and carrying the registration F-WULR, completed its maiden flight over Toulouse on 2 June. It is due to become the first Project Sunrise aircraft delivered to Qantas in April 2027.
