Qantas launching Launceston flights from Sydney

Monday, 28 Oct, 2020 0

With the easing of border restrictions between New South Wales and Tasmania coming, Qantas will launch a new route connecting Sydney and Launceston.

It begins 4 December 2020, with three flights a week on Boeing 717 aircraft.

A week after launch, it will increase seasonally to four a week until 1 February 2021.

It is the first time since 2004 Qantas has flown the Launceston-Sydney route.

Subject to demand, it may increase capacity further.

It follows other new routes to Tasmania recently announced with Brisbane-Hobart on Qantas and Gold Coast-Hobart with Jetstar.

"We know there is huge pent-up demand for domestic travel with Australians looking for new destinations to explore," said Qantas Domestic and International CEO Andrew David.

"We’ll keep a close eye on demand and if it proves successful we will look to extend the service."

Qantas is also restarting Hobart to Sydney flights from 6 November 2020.
