Airbus and Air France successfully completed the world's first fully autonomous commercial airline flight, operating an Airbus A350-1000 from Los Angeles International Airport to Tokyo Haneda — a 10-hour transpacific flight carrying 312 revenue passengers — with two pilots aboard in a monitoring role who touched the controls at no point during the flight.

The flight was completed without incident and received regulatory approval from both the FAA and Japan Civil Aviation Bureau under special experimental certificates permitting operation in Class A controlled airspace under continuous air traffic control supervision.
