Qantas to Launch Ultra-Long-Haul Sydney-London Nonstop Flights by 2027
Qantas plans to launch direct Sydney-London flights by October 2027 under its Project Sunrise initiative, introducing ultra-long-haul travel with nonstop journeys lasting up to 22 hours over approximately 17,000 kilometers. This route will surpass current longest flights, such as Singapore Airlines' Singapore-New York service. The airline has invested in aircraft modifications and cabin redesigns to enhance passenger comfort on these extended flights, aiming to reduce travel time and improve the overall experience compared to traditional stopover routes.
