Qantas will launch its first non-stop service between Sydney and London from October 2027, the first time the route has been flown direct from Australia’s east coast.
The new flight forms part of the airline’s Project Sunrise strategy and will reduce travel time by up to four hours compared with current one-stop services. The ultra-long-haul service will operate alongside Qantas’s existing Perth-London and Sydney-Singapore-London services.
Project Sunrise will eventually connect Australia’s east coast with other international destinations, with Sydney-New York confirmed as the next service.
