airline routes

Who would've thought we'd be seeing new competition on the Canberra-Newcastle route? Link Airways will launch 4x weekly flights on a Saab 340 (2 flights on Mondays and 2 flights on Fridays), increasing later to 11x weekly...

I know the new A321neo LR aircraft has a rather good range and is capable of flying trans-Atlantic. But surely a non-stop flight of 12 hours and 20 minutes in a single-aisle A321 is just too long? Air Transit has scheduled a non-stop YUL-ATH flight later this month on a A321neo LR. The outbound...

First it was Qantas, now Korean Air has also pulled all flights to Australia (and New Zealand) from sale until the end of the IATA northern winter scheduling period, which is 27 March 2021...

The ACCC today extended authorisation for Rex to coordinate with Qantas on selected regional routes where both airlines operate until 30 June 2021. (They can also cooperate with Virgin, if they also serve the route). This allows them to coordinate on flight schedules to ensure the relevant...

Alliance Airlines will fly four times per week from Brisbane to Prosperpine (Whitsunday Coast) from later this month, flying on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. They're advertising $99 one-way launch fares which include 20kg of checked luggage. A day after the announcement, Jetstar...

Headline is presumptuous, but REX today publically floating the possibility of operating between state capitals using aircraft no longer required by other/former airlines... Deputy Chairman John Sharp suggesting $200 million (capital raising from shareholders?) would do it...

I am looking at booking a round the world trip for late 2021 when flights are open, starting and finishing in Brisbane. I have a novice question. I would like to visit the following places, Japan, Vietnam, Houston, Nairobi and India. Which order should I do the flights and any other tips ...

https://travel.virginaustralia.com/au/minimal-network-schedule?icmpid=va|c_crm|au_hp|fre|HTGYH|na Basically the VARA network, selected Qld regional cities from BNE, MEL-PER (only transcon), Golden Triangle, MEL-Canberra and SYD-Gold Coast. SYD-MEL, SYD-BNE, MEL-BNE and MEL-PER are the only...

QF9 has been pretty reliable since its introduction as a MEL: - PER - LHR in lieu of its former via DXB route. AFAIK, neither it or QF10 southbound have had to divert to an alternate airport. The northbound QF9 has been marginally affected by changes to its flight path given the Iranian...

Emirates will commence daily flights from Singapore to Penang, Malaysia from 9 April 2020 (just over a week after it ends SIN-BNE service). The full routing will be DXB-SIN-PEN, and seats will be sold on the SIN-PEN sector. Now that's something I didn't see coming! Schedule as follows...

Hi We are due to fly home (Adelaide) on the 13th from Amsterdam via Dubai with Emirates. The path still uses the Iran-Iraq corridor that most other airlines are avoiding due to the current conflict. I'm currently in Germany and would like to change my flights to a route that doesn't go through...

QF to announce Orange and Griffith as new destinations. Seems to be a result of spare aircraft from NZ.

Qantas has announced that it will be launching a Tamworth to Brisbane direct route as of 29 March 2020, https://www.finder.com.au/qantas-set-to-launch-flights-from-tamworth-to-brisbane

Hi all, I am booked on a classic award via qantas that includes a BNE- SIN leg on EK and I have just received an email from EK saying my flight has been cancelled. I had feared that this might happen as I read that EK had applied to kill the route but here we are. It appears they have now...

AM and VA had recently applied to DOT (Department of Transport) for the codeshare arrangement between LAX and MEX and between LAX and the Australian East Coast cities (SYD, BNE, MEL). Thanks to SQ and EY reducing their influence on VA, It's good to see VA once again expand their portfolio of...

AA has just put out an embargoed press release regarding new routes and developments in this part of the world. They are doing something with New Zealand.
