Qantas will add more flights between Hong Kong and Sydney, Australia as a result of increasing demand from travellers.

From October 25, Qantas will operate an additional four Hong Kong-Sydney services each week, on top of the current daily services available to Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.

“Customers travelling from Hong Kong will have the choice of double daily flights to Sydney on peak days of the week for business travel and we’ll look at expanding beyond that if the opportunity is available,” says Qantas International CEO Gareth Evans.

The four new Hong Kong-Sydney services will be operated by Qantas’ refurbished A330 aircraft with lie-flat seats in Business and new Economy seats, the first time customers travelling on this route will experience the airline’s latest international product.^

The new services coincides with an increase in services between Manila and Sydney from four to five per week between early December and late March 2016 and follows an additional 140 international services to operate between Australia and Singapore, Jakarta and New Zealand over the upcoming summer holiday season.

“We’re pleased to add to the seasonal services we’re set to operate from Asia later this year, with the new services again representing the dynamic nature of our network, which has the flexibility to offer our customers more flights during peak seasons,” says Mr Evans.

With the new services, Qantas will operate 25 services per week from Hong Kong to Australia, in addition to daily services which operate from Shanghai to Australia. From January 21 to February 16, Qantas will upgrade its B747 services to daily A380 services between Sydney and Hong Kong. www.qantas.com
