Qantas has announced plans to launch direct flights from Sydney to New York in mid-2028, marking the airline’s second ultra long-haul route after the Sydney to London service. The flights will take 18 hours, reducing the travel time by at least three hours compared to current routes. The route is part of Qantas’ Project Sunrise expansion plans, with the Sydney to London service expected to begin in October 2027, following delays. The new service will include onboard ‘wellbeing zones’.
