SINGAPORE, 24 August 2023: Qantas announced another increase to its international capacity on Monday ahead of additional aircraft returning to its fleet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Destinations with more capacity include New York, Los Angeles, Johannesburg and Bali.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BALI BENEFITS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Qantas will use larger aircraft to support the strong demand for travel between Bali and Australia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From late October, larger Airbus A330 aircraft will replace daily Boeing 737 flights with more premium seats and fully-flat beds in business class on flights from Bali to Sydney. Qantas\u2019 A330 aircraft also offer a next-generation economy seat and the latest inflight entertainment technology. Qantas flies from Denpasar (Bali) and Jakarta to both Sydney and Melbourne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Qantas Group is currently at around 80% of its pre-Covid international capacity levels, almost doubling in the past year. This is expected to reach 100% by March 2024, with this additional flying taking it beyond that level from July 2024 onwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Qantas took delivery of three Boeing 787s in recent months and is gradually able to return more of its Airbus A380s to service as they complete post-storage maintenance, enabling flying levels to steadily increase to meet strong travel demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NEW FLYING<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The national carrier is adding more than 250,000 seats* to and from Australia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sydney-Bali <\/strong>\u2013 larger Airbus A330 aircraft will replace daily Boeing 737 flights from October this year with more premium seats and fully-flat beds in Business Class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sydney-Auckland-New York<\/strong> \u2013 following the successful launch of the new route in June this year, flights will increase from four per week to daily from August 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sydney-Johannesburg<\/strong> \u2013 for the first time, Qantas A380s will operate to South Africa from July 2024, doubling capacity during peak periods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Melbourne-Los Angeles<\/strong> \u2013 capacity will increase by around 20 per cent with more A380 flights from July 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sydney-Los Angeles<\/strong> \u2013 flights will increase from eight to nine per week from July 2024, operated with a mix of 787 and A380 aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PRESSURE ON FARES<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Qantas International CEO Cam Wallace said the additional flying would help support the sustained demand for international travel and boost the tourism industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHundreds of thousands of extra seats on our network is great news for our customers planning their next overseas trip,\u201d said Wallace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe know our customers are looking for great value, and this additional capacity will put more downward pressure on fares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe additional capacity will largely be made possible through our final two A380s returning to the Qantas fleet following heavy maintenance and cabin improvements.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UPCOMING NETWORK CHANGES<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This week’s announcement follows an earlier notice that confirmed 1 million seats would be added to the airline’s network over the next year with new routes, larger aircraft and more flights to popular destinations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Routes starting soon<\/strong>:
Sydney-Shanghai<\/strong> resuming in late October, operating for the first time in more than three years.
