Qantas launched a new route between Australia & Papua New Guinea

Qantas Announces New Non-Stop Direct Flights from Perth to Paris

A new direct connection between Australia and Papua New Guinea is now available to Qantas customers travelling between the two nations.

The national carrier began operating a commercial passenger route between Sydney and Port Moresby yesterday, marking the start of the route’s first service in over five decades. The airline’s Boeing 737 aircraft will operate two weekly return trips, adding more than 36,000 seats to the route annually. The new routes complement Qantas’ daily Brisbane-Port Moresby service.

“By skipping a stopover in Brisbane, our new Sydney service will save customers at least three hours on their return trip.” Tickets can be purchased through travel agencies or on qantas.com.

The route, which will facilitate trade and business between Australia and Papua New Guinea, is the most recent addition to Qantas’ network of international services operating out of Sydney.

Customers flying from Papa New Guinea to Australia will be able to benefit from connections with Qantas’ international and domestic flight itineraries. Customers and frequent flyers of Qantas will be able to accrue and use Qantas Points on their flights, as well as take use of premium amenities including free food and beverages, checked baggage, and lounge access in Sydney.
