Qantas has announced that its flights between Perth and Johannesburg will resume on December 7.
QF65 will depart from Perth on Tuesdays, Fridays and Sundays at 13h30 and arrive in Johannesburg at 18h45 on the same day.
On the same days, QF66 will depart from Johannesburg at 21h35 and arrive in Perth at 13h30 on the following day.
Booking for these flights is now open.
“The opportunity now exists to take more South Africans to Australia with a direct flight proposition as well as bring Australians to South Africa. It does support the demand on the route, given the fact that Australia has so many South African expats in the region (around 200 000) and it opens up more opportunities for visiting friends and family plus corporate and leisure travel,” said Michi Messner, Qantas Regional Manager Africa.
The airline will also launch services between Perth and Auckland from December 8. These will operate on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays.
Both of these routes will operate using an A330 with 27 business class and 224 economy class seats.
Fares are available now on Qantas.com but flight schedules may be subject to change depending on government and regulatory approvals.
