These were implemented and tested throughout the lighting workshops in Hamburg and adjusted for eye comfort and appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>\u2192 <a

Australia<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The lighting sequence will be tailored to help passengers adjust to their destination time zone before they set foot on the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The trial has produced a series of 12 unique lighting scenes specifically for the Project Sunrise flights, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\u201cAwake\u201d: Broad-spectrum, blue-enriched lighting to help customers adjust to the destination time zone and help them stay awake; a softer version is available for crew to choose based on cabin mood and ambience.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cSunset\u201d: An immersive transition from a daytime mode into dark that moves through the colours of a sunset into a night sky with moonlight and slow cloud effect to relax customers and prepare them for sleep.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cSunrise\u201d: Dynamic lighting effective for a transition from night to day that replicates an Australian sunrise rolling from the front of the cabin to the rear.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The main cabin will also have Welcome and Farewell lighting scenes for boarding and disembarking, as well as tailored scenes for taxi, take-off and landing, and sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Wellbeing Zone will feature soft blue-enriched light creating a daytime sky effect with slow-moving clouds during \u2018the day\u2019 to keep customers awake, and a moonlight inspired scene with reflections of water rippling to relax customers who spend time in the Wellbeing Zone while the rest of the cabin is in a dark period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a first for the airline, the six enclosed First Suites will offer a fully customisable lighting sequence for their environment that means customers can choose the time zone they want to be on for the duration of the flight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Qantas International CEO Cam Wallace said that the scientifically informed lighting design was another critical component of the preparation for Project Sunrise flights, which will connect Australia\u2019s east coast non-stop with London and New York.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThese world-first flights have been an opportunity for us to work with experts and build on our experience of long-haul flying to rethink the inflight experience with a focus on customer wellbeing and combating the effects of jetlag\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOne of the things that was clear from the research is the importance of light cycles and brightness in setting the body clock and that was the basis of this testing&#8221;, Wallace said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2
