Qantas has confirmed that from October 2027 QF1 and QF2 will fly Sydney to London non-stop for the first time as part of Project Sunrise. The Kangaroo Route first began flying from Sydney to London in 1947 when the journey took four days and seven stops.
For almost 80 years generations of Qantas aircraft from the Lockheed Constellation to the Boeing 747 and Airbus A380 have brought Sydney and London closer together. QF1 and QF2 have long been associated with that journey and a key part of Qantas’ history.
In October 2027 that journey becomes non-stop with the launch of Project Sunrise. The non-stop service marks a new chapter in Qantas history.
