Qantas to offer record flights to US
13 March 2008
Qantas has announced that it is to offer a record number of flights to the United States later this month.
The carrier will start new services from Brisbane and Sydney from 27 March, which will offer 47 connections to the United States every week.
Two flights per week will be available between Brisbane and Los Angeles, with a single weekly flight between Sydney and LA and one connection a week between Sydney and Honolulu, Hawaii.
John Borghetti, executive general manager of Qantas, said the initiative was part of an ongoing commitment to the airline's US services.
'This latest increase in capacity confirms our confidence in the growth potential of this important international route,' Mr Borghetti said.
'Importantly, the additional services from Brisbane will see Qantas offer a daily, non-stop service between Queensland and California for the first time.'
Qantas has codesharing agreements with American Airlines, Alaska Airlines, Mexicana and others that offer connections to 12 US destinations, nine locations in Canada and four airports in Mexico.
