Qantas returns to India

Friday, 06 Dec, 2021 0

India is back on the Qantas route map after the first Australia-India service in almost a decade landed in Delhi.

The Sydney-Delhi service and the Melbourne-Delhi service, which starts just before Christmas, have been the fastest selling routes on the national carrier’s international network since borders reopened.

Qantas is operating three weekly return flights from Sydney to Delhi, which will increase in January 2022, and four weekly return flights from Melbourne to begin from 22 December 2021.

 "We’re thrilled to be beginning commercial flights to India for the first time in almost a decade. There’s a huge amount of pent up demand," said Qantas Domestic and International CEO Andrew David

"There was an incredible response when we announced both our new routes to Delhi. Forward bookings for the next few months are well ahead of our initial forecasts."

It’s the first time Qantas has operated a commercial service to India since the end of its Brisbane to Mumbai service in 2012 and is the airline’s first regular passenger flight from Australia to Delhi since 1974.
