American Airlines announced Thursday that it will offer the first nonstop service between Dallas-Fort Worth and Brisbane, Australia, beginning October 27, 2024.

This new service will allow one-stop connections to Brisbane from more than 100 destinations throughout the United States that currently require at least two stopovers.

When American’s seasonal service begins, it will be the longest nonstop flight in the airline’s network, which will be operated on Boeing 787-9 aircraft.
