Qantas, the flag carrier of Australia, is set to rediuce its weekly flights from Sydney to Johannesburg. Currently operating six weekly Airbus A380 flights between Sydney's Kingsford Smith Airport (SYD) and OR Tambo International Airport (JNB) in Johannesburg, Qantas will scale back to four weekly flights starting in February 2026.
This change aligns with the airline’s plan to launch a new direct service from Perth to Johannesburg by the end of 2025. Once the Perth-Johannesburg route begins, Qantas will offer daily direct flights between Australia and South Africa, enhancing overall connectivity.
From February 2026, Qantas’ Sydney departures will take off at 17:30 on Mondays and Wednesdays, and 17:15 on Thursdays and Saturdays. These 14-hour, 50-minute direct flights, operated by the Airbus A380, will arrive in Johannesburg at either 14:30 or 14:15, respectively.
