Qantas resumed seasonal nonstop flights between Adelaide and Auckland on 30 October, restoring the direct international link for a second consecutive season. The service is scheduled to operate until 26 April 2027, with four weekly departures initially. A fifth weekly flight will be added during the peak summer holiday period, while the route is operated by Boeing 737-800s and takes about four hours and 15 minutes each way.
Flight QF175 leaves Adelaide on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays at 8:45 a.m. A Wednesday service is scheduled from 14 December to 17 January, increasing direct capacity during the holiday period. The seasonal operation gives passengers from South Australia a nonstop connection to Auckland, as well as access to onward flights within New Zealand.
