Qantas to Discontinue Nonstop Perth-London Flights from 2026
Qantas will discontinue its flagship nonstop service between Perth and London starting in 2026. The iconic QF9 flight will be replaced by a new direct route from Perth to Paris, which is set to launch in July 2024. This strategic shift is part of the airline's long-term 'Project Sunrise' plan, which will connect Australia's east coast directly with London. While the specific nonstop Perth-London link is ending, passengers will still have one-stop travel options. The move allows Qantas to optimize its fleet for its evolving ultra-long-haul network.
