Qantas Rome flight hit 98% seats full
Qantas’ new seasonal service from Rome to Perth has likely become one of the most successful in the airline’s history after it saw 98% of seats full during July. The Sydney-Perth-Rome flights launched on 22 June with 787-9 Dreamliners and will operate three times a week until 6 October 2022. New BITRE data from the Department of Infrastructure shows its ‘seat utilisation’ was 97.7% on inbound services and 91.9% on outbound services. Upon launch, it was also the only direct service between Australia and continental Europe. Customers were able to combine the Rome flights with the Flying Kangaroo’s double-daily direct flights between Australia and London, meaning they could fly in and out of different cities on one return ticket through to October 2022. Overall, international passenger traffic in July 2022 was 2.057m, still significantly down on the 3.736m in pre-pandemic July 2019.<br/>
