A custom-built Airbus A350-1000ULR aircraft for Qantas is expected to arrive in Australia from France. Multiple outlets report the plane is scheduled to land in Melbourne on Friday following a direct flight from the Airbus factory in Toulouse. The flight is described as lasting just over 20 hours, with reported duration of 20-plus hours. The aircraft is characterised as a long-range variant of the Airbus A350 family, built specifically for Qantas. Across the sources, the core details are consistent: the aircraft model is the A350-1000ULR, the departure point is Toulouse, and the arrival point is Melbourne on Friday after a non-stop journey. The reporting does not provide additional information about the aircraft’s subsequent use, onboard configuration, or any operational or regulatory steps after arrival. The coverage focuses on the in-bound delivery and the direct nature of the route from the manufacturer to Australia.
