Qantas will be running daily direct flights from Auckland to New York for part of next year.
The Australian airline announced this morning that the daily direct service would operate between June and October 2026.
Qantas currently flies from Auckland to the Big Apple five times a week.
The airline has been operating the service since 2023, competing directly with Air New Zealand, which also offers direct flights to New York.
“Our Auckland – New York flights have been popular with customers, so we’re thrilled to be increasing the service to daily from June to October next year,” Qantas CEO International Cam Wallace said.

“It continues to be an important market for us and we’re looking forward to operating the service alongside our future nonstop options between Sydney and New York with Project Sunrise.”
Qantas also announced it was introducing its 787 Dreamliner on flights between Auckland and Brisbane.
“Together with the daily New York service brings more choice and premium seats to our customers in New Zealand.”
