Qantas to launch direct flights from Perth to | Australian Markets
Qantas is launching direct flights from Perth to Johannesburg and Auckland from December.
The Australian airline on Tuesday introduced the flights — launching on December 7 and eight, respectively — would operate 3 times a week on an A330, offering 224 economic system and 27 business class seats.
Perth to Auckland — QF111 — will depart on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays with a flight time of about 6 hours and 45 minutes.
Perth to Johannesburg — QF65 — will fly out on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays with a flight time of about 11 hours and quarter-hour.
The flights can be found to be booked at the moment.
Qantas International chief govt Cam Wallace mentioned the new routes would allow “further growth” all through Australia.
“We’re so excited to be launching two new international routes, unlocking more options and greater choice for all Australians to connect to the world through our growing network,” he mentioned.
“By connecting Perth directly with Auckland and Johannesburg, we’re supporting the local economy by opening valuable inbound tourism opportunities for Western Australia, as well as generating new jobs for the State.
“We would like to thank Perth Airport, Department of Agriculture Fisheries and Forestry, and Australian Border Force in working together to make these new flights possible.”
Perth Airport chief business and aviation officer Kate Holsgrove mentioned the launch of the new routes was “great news” for West Australians.
“Perth is a dynamic, expanding hub with incredible growth opportunities and we remain focused on working with our airline partners to grow aviation connectivity to create more opportunities for Western Australia’s tourism industry and provide more options for Western Australians to travel.
“Creating additional capacity within Terminal 3 and Terminal 4 will allow Qantas to add or expand their services to Western Australia and is an important interim measure as we build new terminal facilities at Airport Central so Qantas can relocate in 2031.”
