Overview
- Qantas, which on Friday extended schedule changes through September, will keep a 5% cut to domestic capacity in place.
- The airline is shifting aircraft to higher demand Europe services, with extra Perth–Rome flights now running until the end of October.
- Flights to Paris will continue from Sydney via Singapore and revert to three return services per week from August.
- Qantas is tightening other markets, trimming trans‑Tasman seats with Jetstar and pausing Sydney–Bengaluru from August to late October, which reduces planned group international capacity by 2 percentage points in the September quarter.
- Canberra has lined up emergency fuel shipments and says China has taken a first step to resume exports, yet airlines still face high prices and uneven supply that can mean higher fares and schedule changes for travelers.
