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.

The new route will be a daily seasonal service, connecting Dallas-Fort Worth—one of the busiest airports in the U.S.—with Brisbane, a growing hub for international travelers. The Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, known for its fuel efficiency and passenger comfort, is the aircraft chosen for this long-haul journey. Its advanced design offers a smoother ride and reduced cabin noise, enhancing the travel experience on what will be one of American Airlines' longest direct flights.

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.
