Qantas to boost Heathrow – Melbourne A380 flights
Qantas is to boost Airbus A380 flights from Melbourne to Heathrow as it expands its fleet of the world’s largest passenger plane. The airline intends to operate daily A380 flights to London via Singapore by March 2011, it said in a statement today.
The expansion is tied to the delivery of four A380s, which will raise Qantas’s fleet to 10. The airline is due to receive its seventh A380 in the fourth quarter, which will enable it to raise the Sydney-to-London superjumbo service to daily. A spokesman said Qantas is boosting A380 operations as a rebounding global economy revives international travel and as Airbus moves ahead with production of the plane following delays.
Qantas will also expand code sharing arrangements with British Airways to cover six additional European cities, including Rome, Milan and Budapest.
