Qantas announces it will launch non-stop flights between Sydney and London that would become the longest scheduled passenger route in the world. Multiple outlets report the airline plans a direct service taking about 19 to 22 hours, with several sources describing it as a 20- to 22-hour journey. Qantas says London will be the first destination for its ultra-long-haul project, with the route covering what sources describe as roughly 19–21 or around 20 hours in flight time, depending on the reporting. Several publications also specify a start date, with Michael West and other coverage indicating the service begins in October 2027. Other outlets describe the launch timeline more broadly as within the next 18 months or “next year,” but align on a 2027 timeframe. The reporting also notes Qantas is working with scientists to address passenger experience on very long flights, including efforts related to reducing jet lag. Overall, outlets agree that the airline is introducing a new non-stop Sydney–London service, positioned as a record-setting route for distance and duration.
