BA returns to kangaroo route after two years

The first flight between London and Australia in two years has been restored by British Airways.

The daily service by Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft from Heathrow via Singapore was heralded as a momentous milestone by the carrier.

The airline's longest route is 10,020 nautical miles.

British Airways has a strong relationship with Australia, according to Noella Ferns. One of the most popular destinations for our customers down under is London, which is the major gateway for Europe.

Two of our cabin crew members, Ross and Mark, who have been with us for two years, will be on this very special flight and will be able to see their families for the first time in two years.

It's great to welcome British Airways back to the airport as it's one of the most important routes in international aviation.

The cultural, business and family connections between Australia and the UK run deep, and it will be great to see the Union flag tail on the BA aircraft back.

Since the opening of our international border in February, a number of international airlines have returned to Sydney, and capacity is increasing, a welcome sight as we gradually climb out of the pandemic and put two years of pain behind us.
