Qantas Restores Sydney-Port Moresby Flights: Launching March 2026
Qantas has announced the restoration of direct flights between Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport and Port Moresby Jacksons International Airport, marking a significant development in regional aviation connectivity. The twice-weekly service launches in March 2026, operating on Boeing 737 aircraft as flight QF203/204, scheduled for Mondays and Fridays year-round. The route reinstatement adds approximately 35,000 seats annually to Papua New Guinea’s capacity and complements Qantas’ existing daily Brisbane-Port Moresby service. According to Qantas CEO International Cam Wallace, the decision reflects anticipated demand growth driven by multiple factors, particularly Papua New Guinea’s entry into the National Rugby League in 2028.
