Qantas brings forward international services to 01-Nov-2021

Qantas announced (15-Oct-2021) plans to bring forward the restart of its international services by two weeks to 01-Nov-2021, after Australia's and New South Wales' Governments confirmed borders will reopen on that date. Qantas will operate up to five times weekly from Sydney to London and up to four weekly frequencies from Sydney to Los Angeles with Boeing 787 equipment from 01-Nov-2021. More frequencies will be added to meet demand, if needed. Service to London will operate via Darwin until at least Apr-2022. These initial flights are limited to Australian citizens, permanent residents and their immediate families and parents, in line with Australian Government requirements. Services to other destinations including Singapore, Fiji and Vancouver are still scheduled to commence from 18-Dec-2021, with other destinations to restart in 2022. In light of the shift to remove quarantine requirements for fully vaccinated travellers arriving in New South Wales, the Qantas Group is looking at bringing forward some additional destinations from Sydney if possible.
