Filipinos now have more options to get to the land down under with Australian national carrier Qantas launching new nonstop flights to Brisbane, Queensland.
The Airbus A330 will fly four times per week, adding an extra 100,000 seats between the Philippines and Australia every year and is in addition to the national carrier's existing daily services to Sydney. Qantas first touched down in the Philippines in 1947 with Lancastrian aircraft supporting Australian Government military operations, before introducing passenger services in 1950. The Super Constellation was then introduced in 1955.
As the route begins, Qantas International CEO Cam Wallace says, 'The Philippines is a very strong market for Qantas and we are pleased to be responding to demand for our services with the addition of flights to Brisbane.'We know a lot of our customers travel to Brisbane via Sydney, so this new direct flight will make it easier and faster for Filipinos to get to Queensland in a single hop aboard the Flying Kangaroo.
