Flights to Australia Increased by Qantas

Sydney Harbour is a popular tourist destination.

Australian and intercontinental air carrier Qantas has revealed that due to a number of scheduled super-jumbos soon joining their fleet they are to increase the number of flights between London and both Melbourne and Sydney. With Australia remaining a popular tourist destination for British travellers and with a large number of aussies living and working in the UK the increased service looks set to provide greater access and ease in flying to the other side of the world.

Increasing their service from the current twice weekly route which flies via Singapore, Qantas’s receipt of the new super-jumbo A380 will allow a new daily service to operate. With the first plane arriving at the end of this year and increasing to ten vehicles by March 2011, the international operator said that they were to gradually increase service until a flight to Melbourne or Sydney was available every day for those wishing to fly from or to Britain.

Though the A380 planes are already used by Qantas and have flown over half a million travellers around the world so far, the increased number of models to its fleet will provide a huge advantage to travellers looking to travel down-under. A booming tourism sector in the country iconic for its Opera House, Outback and Great Barrier Reef, will certainly mean that the additional flights will be quickly taken up by eager travellers. And with further super-jumbo’s allowing for increased service from Melbourne to Los Angeles as well, Qantas looks set to fly millions around the world for years to come.
