Qantas Plans Direct Sydney‑London Service for October 2027

Qantas announced its intention to operate nonstop flights between Sydney and London. The service is scheduled to commence in October 2027. The route will connect Australia’s largest city with the United Kingdom’s capital without intermediate stops. The airline expects the long‑haul flight to reduce travel time compared with current connections. The move follows industry trends toward ultra‑long‑haul routes. Qantas has not disclosed aircraft type or capacity details. The announcement was reported by RFI. The launch will be watched for its impact on competition and passenger demand.
