Long Haul American Airlines Inaugural Non-Stop Flight from Dallas to Brisbane Makes Historic Landing

Millions of aviation enthusiasts and travellers around the globe are gearing up to watch American Airlines' inaugural non-stop flight from Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) to Brisbane, Australia. This historic flight, numbered AA7, will not only establish a new travel link between the U.S. and Queensland but will also become the longest flight by distance in the American Airlines network. The highly anticipated flight is expected to be among the most tracked on platforms like Flightradar24, as excitement builds for the aircraft’s landing in Brisbane.

Departing Dallas-Fort Worth at approximately 10 p.m. local time, the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner will cover a distance of 13,340 kilometers (8,290 miles) over an estimated 15 hours. This will make it the longest non-stop flight ever operated to or from Brisbane Airport. The aircraft is scheduled to touch down in Brisbane at around 6:30 a.m. AEST on Monday, where its arrival will be broadcast live on Brisbane Airport's official runway cameras, allowing viewers from all over the world to witness the momentous event.

This new link is expected to boost tourism and business ties between Queensland and the U.S. As part of their campaign to promote the service, American Airlines has been encouraging customers to explore Brisbane and the surrounding regions, which include world-renowned destinations such as the Great Barrier Reef, Gold Coast, and Sunshine Coast.

The importance of the Brisbane-Dallas Fort Worth connection cannot be overstated. American Airlines, which previously operated flights from other U.S. cities to Brisbane, now joins United Airlines as the only other American carrier flying non-stop from the U.S. to the Queensland capital. United Airlines currently operates flights from Brisbane to San Francisco and Los Angeles, offering travelers more options to connect between Australia and the U.S.

The demand for this flight underscores the rising interest in Australia as a destination for U.S. tourists and businesses. Brisbane Airport has worked closely with American Airlines to ensure a seamless launch of the service. The initial response has been overwhelmingly positive, with bookings already filling up fast. The airline expects strong demand for the route, particularly during peak travel seasons.

As the aviation industry recovers from the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, the launch of this historic flight symbolizes the resumption of global travel and the strengthening of international ties. The Dallas-Fort Worth to Brisbane service provides a vital connection for passengers looking to travel between North America and Australia without layovers, making long-haul journeys more convenient and efficient.
