QF to relaunch SYD-POM

Papua New Guinea’s entry into the National Rugby League (NRL) tournament is a catalyst for the Sydney-Port Moresby flights Papua New Guinea’s entry into the National Rugby League (NRL) tournament is a catalyst for the Sydney-Port Moresby flights

Qantas has announced the return of flights between Sydney and Port Moresby following a temporary suspension earlier this year. The service is timed to support growing travel as Papua New Guinea prepares to enter Australia’s premier rugby league competition.

The service will operate twice per week from March 2026 on QF’s Boeing 737 aircraft, adding almost 35,000 seats annually to Papua New Guinea and complementing QF’s existing daily Brisbane-Port Moresby flights.

The route will provide additional capacity for the sporting and leisure traffic expected between the two cities. It will also support growing business travel between the two countries, providing a direct link to Sydney and onward connections to Qantas’ domestic network across Australia and New Zealand.
