Domestic flights between #Victoria and #NSW will reopen earlier than expected.
Non-stop flights from London will be canceled due to WA State's reluctance to reopen its borders.
The airline said on Monday that it will cease its Perth-London flights until at least April 2022, and will instead resume daily Melbourne-Darwin-London flights from December, when the Morrison government expects to reopen the international border.
The WA government is reluctant to open its borders, both domestically and internationally.
🚩NSW AND VICTORIA TRAVEL OPEN
Qantas has announced that they will resume regular flights between the two states from November 5 instead of December 5, based on Victorian Premier Daniel Andrew's reopening plan released over the weekend.
🚩WA FLIGHTS CANCELED
Based on discussions with the WA government, Qantas CEO Alan Joyce said: The resumption of regular domestic flights to Victoria and NSW has been shifted from 1 December to 1 February.
Qantas announced that its flight schedule from WA to Tasmania, the Northern Territory and South Australia has not changed.
🚩INTERNATIONAL FLIGHTS STARTS
Qantas plans to restart international flights to the UK, US, Japan, Singapore, Canada and Fiji from December 18 and 19. Despite news of the launch, the Morrison government has not yet made a clear statement by then whether Australians will be leaving the country.
Qantas CEO Joyce said the "main factor" in determining international travel demand will be what quarantine requirements will apply to Australians returning home.
