Qantas (QF, Sydney Kingsford Smith) will resume international services out of Perth International later on in June Qantas International Chief Executive Officer Gareth Evans has said.
Using B737-800 equipment, the airline will offer a 5x weekly flight to Singapore Changi beginning June 26.
“We know how important it is for West Australian business travellers to have seamless access to Asia so we’re delighted to be able to offer the Perth-Singapore route with a schedule and aircraft type that will make it commercially viable,” Evans said. “The new international service has been made possible through the Qantas Group’s aircraft utilisation program – which is about having the right aircraft on the right route – and matching schedules with customer demand.”
Qantas ended scheduled flights between the two cities in May 2014 preferring to downgrade the route to a seasonal service operated during peak holiday periods.
