Qantas' second Project Sunrise route, after Sydney to London in October 2027
Qantas has confirmed it will fly Sydney to New York without a stop from the middle of 2028, with tickets on sale from August 2027. The flight uses an Airbus A350-1000ULR carrying an extra 20,000-litre fuel tank and 238 seats across four cabins. It cuts more than three hours from the total journey against the airline's current daily one-stop service through Auckland.
