Qantas will soon offer nonstop flights from New York to Sydney. The airline has announced plans to start selling tickets for the route next year, with the first flights set to take off in 2028. The Airbus A350-1000ULR will be used for the flights, which will be the longest commercial flights in the world.
Qantas is pushing ahead with the new ultra-long flights despite high fuel prices. The airline has been working on the project for several years and has invested heavily in the development of the A350-1000ULR. The plane is capable of flying nonstop from Sydney to London without a fuel stop, and Qantas believes it is the only aircraft that can make the New York to Sydney route work without refueling.
The first nonstop New York-to-Sydney flights are expected to take off in 2028, with Qantas starting to sell tickets for the route next year. The airline's move is seen as a major coup for Australian tourism, which is expected to benefit from the increased connectivity between the two cities.
