Qantas will assign its flagship flight numbers, QF-1 and QF-2, to the new 22-hour non-stop service between Sydney and London Heathrow starting in October 2027. The route, part of Project Sunrise, uses modified Airbus A350ULR aircraft with an additional fuel tank to cover the 16,000 km distance without stops. Existing one-stop services via Singapore will be renumbered as QF-5 and QF-6.
