Thursday, 12 Sep, 2021 0

Qantas is launching its first direct flights linking Brisbane to Launceston, Tasmania.

From 1 November 2021, Qantas will operate three return services per week with QantasLink’s Boeing 717 aircraft until the end of March 2022.

It adds up to more than 15,000 additional seats on the route and plans to add more flights if there is customer demand.

From November, budget subsidiary Jetstar will also add two more weekly return services to its existing Brisbane to Launceston flights.

This is the eighth new Tasmanian route Qantas and Jetstar have launched since international borders closed, to meet demand from Australians stuck at home .

Qantas Domestic and International CEO Andrew David said "As the national carrier, we’re delighted to be adding another route into Tasmania and offering Qantas flights between Brisbane and Launceston for the first time."

"Tasmania has been very popular with travellers in the past year and we’re pleased to be making it easier for Queenslanders to visit the island’s north coast."

Qantas is offering special fares starting from $169 one-way, available for sale until Sunday 12 September.
