QANTAS Airways made this announcement:

Our first Airbus A350-1000ULR (Ultra Long Range) aircraft is now on the final assembly line in Toulouse.

This marks a significant step in Project Sunrise, which will conquer the final frontier of long-haul travel with non-stop flights between Australia’s east coast and London and New York.

All key airframe components including the forward, centre and rear fuselage sections have come together, along with the wings, tail section, and landing gear now attached. This week the aircraft will be transferred to a new hangar where it will have engines and flight test instruments installed in preparation for an extensive test flight programme, commencing in 2026 ahead of delivery late next year.
