We start in sydney where we could be seeing the dawn of a new era of ultra long haul commercial flights. In the last few hours a boeing 787 belonging to Australian Airline qantas has landed after flying non stop from london to sydney. It left heathrow around 6am yesterday flying almost 18,000 kilometres over 19 hours and 19 minutes. Its part of a bigger project looking at ultra long haul flying, made possible by the boeing 787 and rival airbus a350 long rangejets. 0ur correspondent lukejones was one of just a0 passengers and crew on board. They were all subject to rigorous testing to assess the impact of the flight on their health, wellbeing and body clock. Lets get more on this story lets speak to luke hearing you go through those statistics again, i am feeling tired all over it. Did you think you would be safe and did your friends and family feel worried 7 be safe and did your friends and family feel worried . Nobody was worried about me but it was absolutely fine because of it was quite rigourous, the testing. Lots of people from the university of syd ney of people from the university of sydney on their putting light sensors on people, putting motion sensors on people, putting motion sensors to track our people were sleeping. Part of the testing was also food as well, nice puddings and stea k also food as well, nice puddings and steak so it was about pushing our circadian rhythm into sydney time. Even though we got on the flight at about 6am uk time, it was trait straight into dinner and wine. That doesnt sound like a very normal flight doesnt sound like a very normal Flight Experience for most people. Were you sitting in coach class . There are not very many of you on the flight and i can see you doing some exercises. That will not be the reality for most people on board these lights. Not at all. There was 53 of us including crew on the plane and the passengers, we will roll in Business Class and it was quite spooky walking round this huge 787 dreamliner and seeing all the empty seats while you are in the air. I asked the ceo allanjoyce asking why you wont doing tests in Economy Class. Im sure you will be fine in Business Class. He said if they were to do these flights, if they could get the regulations changed, if they could take a. Of passengers this distance, they would strip out some economy seats and put in a kind of exercise area and that is why we had someone from the university of syd ney someone from the university of sydney doing this exercise programme. Lots of stretching of quads and things like that. You look fine, you look absolutely fine. I am glad you managed to get some exercise in during the journey as well. Thanks very much, luke, going to get some sleep. Angelina valavina, transport analyst from Fitch Ratings joins me now. Luke lu ke says luke says he is all right but why is qantas even interested in doing this . Depends on the companys geographic location. Singapore airlines, because of their location and hubs, they are interested in ultra long haul flights and hubs, they are interested in ultra long haulflights so and hubs, they are interested in ultra long haul flights so they can be more competitive with the hubs in europe. It is more reliant on Business Class travel or premium Economy Class travel because of the ticket prices and to make sure these flights are commercially viable for the airlines. One of the big criticisms that the airline has come underfire for criticisms that the airline has come under fire for is the Carbon Footprint associated with this were stopped as this address or allay those fears about the number of flights travelling across the world, if you can go longer on the flight . Some calculations and mathematics need to be done on the other hand, the aircraft, which the Airline Claims to be much more cost and fuel efficient, and on the other hand, since it is in ultra long haul flight, since it is in ultra long haul flight, the airlines will need to use much more fuel than on shorter flights so it remains to be seen, the fact they are using more fuel, whether it is the fact take dont have to do the extra landing and ta keoff have to do the extra landing and takeoff while they are refuelling and depending on that, it will kind of depend whether it will add more to the omissions or it will be neutral. And it is worth saying that on these test sites, what they have done to make sure they have enough fuel, they have limited the weight restriction on luggage. Who is going to be travelling with hand luggage to be travelling with hand luggage to sydney. I just to be travelling with hand luggage to sydney. Ijust wanted to talk about fatigue management. Luke was talking about them controlling it with diet and things but there are concerns for pilots and how they manage theirfatigue concerns for pilots and how they manage their fatigue during this. Do you think pilots will be signing up to this . It is a very good question andi to this . It is a very good question and i suppose this is why qantas is doing these Research Flights or test flight doing these Research Flights or test flight so they can test how the pilot and the crew feel and how many pilots they need on this flight and how the passengers feel. The flight management for ultra long haul flights will be very different to just regular long haul flights. Well, it certainly does seem very different. Thank you for coming in and taking us through the business side of all this. Lets talk about fashion now, because its an industry waking up to the fact its customers come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Can you believe they are onlyjust doing this .

Lets talk brexit now, because australia is asking for trade compensation from the uk and the eu over recent disruption. Australian Officials Say their beef and lamb exporters have been hit after repeated brexit delays causing confusion over quotas that forced them to halt shipments. Sharanjit leyl is looking at this for us in singapore. Australia is really among 15 countries that are all airing their beef about brexit. They include the likes of the us, china, india. They are among a number who are backing australias move to ask for trade compensation from the eu and the uk over brexit disruption. They are specifically talking about losses over beef and lamb, as you say, that have already been disrupted over brexit delays. You will recall there we re brexit delays. You will recall there were three dates in march, april and october while brexit continues to be delayed and ahead of each deadline, australian exporters stopped exporting beef and lamb. It allows a limited amount of goods coming in at reduced tariffs. Anything above that quota, the tariffs go so high it is not worth exporting. As we know, brexit means the uk and the eu will have to decide how to divide up these quotas and every time there is a brexit deadline, australian exporters really cant be sure how much they can export. That is the crux of their complaint. Thank you very much, sharanjit leyl. That is it from your business briefing. See you soon with the papers.
