The Qantas Group continues to take action to mitigate the impact of the conflict in the Middle East, including sustained high fuel costs, and respond to continued strong demand for travel to Europe.
Given fuel prices remain significantly elevated, the Group has extended previously announced schedule changes across its international and domestic network between July and September.
International
Qantas will continue to redeploy some aircraft to operate more flights between Australia and Europe, providing Qantas customers already booked to travel on partner airlines with an alternative option should they wish to change.
Qantas' additional Perth-Rome flights have been extended another three months, until the end of October. Flights to Paris will revert to three return flights per week as planned in August and continue to operate from Sydney through Singapore. The changes will provide an additional 2,000 seats to and from Europe each week.
Qantas and Jetstar have also reduced capacity on other markets. This includes Qantas' Sydney to Bengaluru service being temporarily suspended from August and resuming at the end of October, while both carriers have reduced capacity across the Tasman.
Together these changes reduce previously planned Group International capacity by 2 percentage points for 1Q27[1].
Domestic
The Group has extended previously announced capacity reductions of 5 percentage points1 until the end of September, predominantly on Qantas and Jetstar flights on major capital city routes.
Customers booked on flights impacted by schedule changes are being contacted directly and offered alternative flights or a refund.
