The first non-stop flight between Australia and New York: Qantas will launch it in 2028

Qantas has officially announced the launch of a direct, non-stop flight route connecting Sydney, Australia, and New York, United States. Scheduled to begin in mid-2028, the service is part of the airline's Project Sunrise initiative. This development marks the first time in commercial aviation history that a direct link between these two cities will be established.

The project represents a significant expansion of long-haul travel capabilities for the carrier. By eliminating the need for layovers, the new route aims to provide a direct connection that has previously been unavailable to international travelers.
