袋鼠航線，係指來往歐洲同大洋洲間經停東半球嘅客運航線（而出發地同目的地經停西半球嘅航線被稱爲南十字航線）。呢啲航班通常都會喺東南亞經停。呢啲航線嘅航班可以為航空公司帶來可觀嘅利潤，因為大洋洲國家特別係澳洲同紐西蘭兩國有大量歐洲裔人口，而歐洲同大洋洲兩地間又有極長嘅距離。但係，由於同政府之間嘅協議，可以經營呢啲航線嘅航空公司為數唔多。“袋鼠航線”呢個名由澳洲航空首創 ，名字由來唔單止係因為袋鼠對澳洲嘅獨特性，更因為呢啲路線嘅航班絕大部分都會中停一站，類似袋鼠跳躍嘅動作。
The Kangaroo route refers to the passenger route between Europe and Oceania via the Eastern Hemisphere (while the route of origin and destination via the Western Hemisphere is called the Southern Cross route). These flights usually stop in Southeast Asia. Flights on these routes can be lucrative for airlines because of the large European population in Oceania countries, especially Australia and New Zealand, and the long distances between Europe and Oceania. However, due to agreements with the government, there are only a few airlines that can operate these routes. The name Uranium Kangaroo route was first coined by Australia Airways, not only because of the uniqueness of kangaroos to Australia, but also because most of the flights on these routes will have a stop, similar to kangaroo jumping.
