Qantas bolsters services to Queenstown and Honolulu

Qantas bolsters services to Queenstown and Honolulu
By admin


Qantas will begins its daily schedule between Sydney and Queenstown from Friday to supplement the peak ski season in New Zealand.

The airline currently operates up to three flights per week between Sydney and Queenstown and will support the Queenstown ski season with daily flights through to the end of August.

Qantas International chief executive Simon Hickey said the additional services would help the carrier to meet increased demand over Queenstown’s busiest periods, adding more than 650 seats each week during the ski season.

"The additional services will mean greater flexibility and a premium experience for our customers travelling to Queenstown,” he said.

“Our seasonal services reflect the continued popularity of the surrounding ski fields and will represent a boost to the New Zealand tourism industry, particularly as Emirates will codeshare on all the existing and additional services.”

In addition, Qantas has upgraded services between Sydney and Honolulu, also adding services over the holiday period in response to strong customer demand.

It currently operates Boeing 767 services between Sydney and Honolulu up to four times per week and will upgrade the aircraft to an Airbus A330 from September 14 to December 27 with an additional A330 service on Saturdays.
