First Non-Stop Flights from London to Sydney Coming in 2027

Qantas' new service will cut travel time between London and Sydney by up to four hours.

Qantas' CEO said the airline was built to connect Australia to the world despite its distance.

The CEO said this new service is a big step in Qantas' 105-year mission to connect Australia to the world.

Qantas will use its new Airbus A350-1000ULR planes for non-stop flights from Sydney to London.

The Airbus A350-1000ULR has a special fuel tank to allow for non-stop flights of up to 22 hours.

Qantas will get 12 of these planes, each with 238 seats across four cabins.

Tickets for the new service, which takes 19 hours, will go on sale in February 2027.

The new plane is designed to reduce jetlag and save travelers up to four hours. It has a special cabin for long flights.

There have been delays in the project.

Qantas has been planning these flights for nine years but kept delaying the start date.

After Sydney-London, Qantas will start non-stop flights from Sydney to New York.

The launch date for these new services will be announced next year.

Qantas pilots are training on A350 simulators in Sydney and with British Airways.

Over 360 pilots and 1,200 crew members will be trained for the new planes by the time all 12 are delivered.

Australian Trade Minister Don Farrell welcomed the news.

Minister Farrell said this is a big milestone for aviation and tourism in Australia and the UK. It shows the strong friendship between the two countries. The new flights will help more people visit Australia.

The new direct route will bring more tourists to Australia to experience what it has to offer.
