Qantas to restart Perth-Singapore service

17 Apr 2015 by GrahamSmith

Qantas will resume its Perth-Singapore service in June, 13 months after it was pulled for being economically unviable.

The Australian airline will operate a B737 five-times weekly - on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays - between the two cities from June 26.

Outbound service QF71 will depart Perth at 1200 and arrive in Singapore at 1720, with return service QF72 leaving Singapore at 1825 and landing in Perth at 2340.

Gareth Evans, Qantas International CEO, said: "We know how important it is for West Australian business travellers to have seamless access to Asia so were delighted to be able to offer the Perth-Singapore route with a schedule and aircraft type that will make it commercially viable."

Since cancelling the regular Perth-Singapore service in April 2014, Qantas has operated seasonal flights between the two cities during peak holiday periods.

Jetstar Asia flies 13 weekly services on the route.

In February, Qantas launched an upgrade bidding system for members of its Qantas Frequent Flyer loyalty club (see news, February 10).
