QANTAS has conceded rising fuel prices over the last month will have an impact on domestic fares and capacity from Jul.
While there will be a dialling down of services, the carrier said it was not expected to materially impact customers due to the large number of flights on most routes, with those impacted to be contacted directly and offered different options.
MEANWHILE Qantas confirmed it has welcomed a third A380 back from storage, which will return to service from 06 Jun on the Melbourne-LA route, while Jetstar will resume flights from Cairns-Tokyo (Narita) from 20 Jul & Cairns-Osaka from 26 Jul.
Qantas will reboot its Sydney-Tokyo (Haneda) services from 12 Sept, and from Melbourne and Brisbane to Tokyo (Haneda) from the end of Oct, using A330s.
The carrier is also predicting that by the end of Jul, direct Jetstar services to Bali from all seven Australian cities it flew from pre-COVID will be close to pre-pandemic levels of capacity.
Further international increases to Asia will see Qantas grow frequencies between Sydney and Manila from five flights per week to six from 20 Jun, increasing to daily from mid-Sep.
Qantas also confirmed it would resume flights from Sydney to Santiago from 30 Oct, with four flights per week using its 787s.
