The Boeing 787 Dreamliner, known for its long-range capabilities, regularly serves Australia's Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport, the busiest in the country. An analysis by aviation analytics company Cirium reveals that in April, eight airlines will operate routes of 5,000 miles (4,345 NM) or longer from Sydney using this aircraft, predominantly the 787-9 variant. A few routes will utilize the slightly smaller 787-8 variant.

Qantas is a major operator with its 787 Dreamliner fleet connecting Sydney to multiple long-distance destinations in North America, Europe, and South America. Notably, Qantas' direct flight to Dallas/Fort Worth spans 7,444 NM (13,895 km). It also runs a lengthy two-segment service to Paris Charles de Gaulle via Perth covering 8,964 NM (16,601 km), and a one-stop route to New York JFK through Auckland at 8,564 NM (15,808 km).

Air China operates flights from Beijing to Sydney with its 787-9s over a distance of 4,823 NM (8,934 km), while Air India's daily service from Delhi spans 5,627 NM (10,421 km).
