Qantas says it must prove the financial viability of its historic non-stop Perth to London service before the airline adds new destinations to its fledgling ultra-long haul network.

Aboard the flight, Qantas CE Alan Joyce said the carrier was interested in making Paris the next destination it services non-stop, having been granted regulatory approval to fly to the French capital daily from Perth. “When we last did Paris it was from Singapore to Paris and it was 3 a week and it was hard to make it economically work,” Joyce said. “So we are keen on it, we are interested in it, but need to bed this one down [first].” <br/>
