THE SCIENCE OF SUNRISE: QANTAS CREATES CABIN LIGHTING INSPIRED BY AUSSIE LANDSCAPES TO COMBAT JETLAG

Unique and customisable cabin lighting inspired by the colours of the Australian landscape and grounded in science will feature on Qantas’ upcoming Project Sunrise ultra-long-haul flights to help minimise jetlag and improve customer wellbeing. The design is a result of more than 150 hours of testing in the Airbus Customer Definition Centre in Hamburg where representatives from Qantas, Airbus, the University of Sydney’s Charles Perkins Centre and Caon Design Office created and tested hundreds of lighting patterns and sequences in an Airbus A350 cabin mockup.
