Since the launch of its Sydney-Auckland-New York flight in June 2023, Qantas has been steadily gaining momentum at JFK Airport. Having increased to five flights just a few months ago, service to the US destination will become daily starting in June 2026.
The daytime flight, departing at 10:05 a.m and arriving in Auckland at 3:15 p.m with a scheduled landing at New York JFK at 5:15 p.m will operate daily and will likely maintain the same departure time.
Cam Wallace, CEO of Qantas International, said: “We are delighted to strengthen Australia’s best airline in a country as large as the United States by expanding our operations to New York JFK. The long-standing relationship and close trade ties between the two countries, combined with New York’s growing tourism potential, make it a perfect fit for our network.” We are confident that customers will appreciate being able to continue enjoying Qantas’ award winning products and services on this route.”
