Due to take off in 2028, it is set to be the national carrier’s second ultra long-haul route after Sydney to London
Qantas says travellers will be able to fly between Sydney and New York in just 18 hours from mid-2028 when the airline launches its second ultra long-haul route, cutting at least three hours from the travel time.
The route will be the second in Qantas’ Project Sunrise expansion plans, with new Sydney to London direct flights planned for October 2027, after some delays.
