Brisbane-based Qantas engineers have spent the best part of the past month installing sensitive atmospheric monitoring sensors on a Hawaiian Airlines Airbus A330 in a bid to fill a major gap in global climate research.

The equipment, worth about $825,000 and weighing 107 kilograms, was installed on the A330 in Qantas's Brisbane hangar over the past month.
