Qantas said an ongoing feud with Perth Airport will likely push back plans for a second direct flight to Europe for at least 2 years. The carrier launched a nonstop flight from Perth to London in March 2018 and has signalled that a Paris flight is its next priority. However, the airline has said disputes with Perth Airport must be resolved before any further European flights from Perth are introduced. Qantas CE Alan Joyce reiterated this stance in a Sept 18 speech about the broader issue of airport charges in Australia. He used the airline’s long-running disagreement with Perth Airport as an example of why an improved dispute resolution process is needed. “Our dispute with Perth Airport is a perfect example of just how broken the system is,” Joyce said. <br/>
