Qantas hails successful first year of Perth-London flights
One year since it operated its first nonstop Perth-London flight, Qantas has lauded it as a major success for the company and Australian tourism. The airline released a special “report card” to commemorate 1 year since its first flight on the route, which shows that the average load factor on the route has been around 94% on its 236-seat Boeing 787-9s. “There were a lot of expectations around this flight, both within Qantas and the broader community, and frankly it’s exceeded them,” commented CE Alan Joyce. The airline also released data showing that just under 60% of passengers on the route originate from Australia, with 31% from the UK. Of those passengers originating in Australia, around half start their journey in Perth, 25% from Melbourne where the flight commences, 7% from Sydney and 6% from Brisbane. <br/>
