Qantas adds more flight to Sydney from Hong Kong

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

From 26 October 2015*, 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.

Qantas International CEO Gareth Evans said the airline was pleased to offer customers more choice from Hong Kong, on a route that is experiencing strong demand from customers.

“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,” said Mr 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 have been made possible by Qantas’ continued focus on more efficient use of aircraft across its fleet. It coincides with the airline also today announcing an increase in services from Manila to Sydney from four to five per week between early December 2015 and late March 2016 and follows an additional 140 international services recently announced to operate to Australia from 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,” said 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 21 January to 16 February, Qantas will upgrade its B747 services to daily A380 services between Sydney and Hong Kong.
