QANTAS has announced it will introduce two new services to Uluru (Ayers Rock Airport) as part of a shake up of its Northern Territory network operations.
One new route will service Adelaide while the other will fly out of Darwin, with both new routes operating twice weekly and using a Boeing 737 aircraft.
Other notable changes on the network include an upgrade to a Boeing 737 fitted with Business class seats on Darwin to Alice Springs routes, the cessation of flights from Cairns to Alice Springs, and the introduction of a discount program for Alice Springs residents.

Additionally, QF subsidiary Jetstar will increase flights between Cairns and Darwin from four per week to daily during peak season to compensate for Qantas cutting services.
The network changes will come into effect 31 Mar 2019.
MEANWHILE, Qantas has also revealed it has added two new South American cities under its codeshare deal with LATAM.
The expanded agreement includes bi-daily services from Santiago (SCL) to Bogota (BOG) coming into effect from 01 Jan, the first time Qantas has offered a codeshare service to Colombia.
A weekly service between Santiago and Guayaquil (GYE) in Ecuador has also been added, effective immediately.
The move bolsters the tie-up between LATAM & QF, who this month announced a codeshare on services to Japan (TD 02 Nov).
Qantas operates four direct return flights weekly between SYD and Santiago, and codeshares with LATAM on seven return flights weekly via Auckland.
