Qantas shares rose after the airline confirmed that its Project Sunrise non-stop flights between Sydney and London will begin in October 2027. The service will become the first commercial non-stop route linking Australia's east coast directly with the United Kingdom and is expected to take less than 22 hours.

The airline also confirmed that non-stop Sydney-New York flights will follow, with further details expected next year.
