Qantas spreads its Wings in the West

Qantas has announced two new international routes will join its growing global international network, with flights between Perth and Auckland, and Perth and Johannesburg set to take off from December 2025*.

These routes unlock more connections for customers across the airline’s expanding international and domestic network which now spans more than 100 destinations around the world.

Available to book now, the new services also reinforce the growth of Qantas’ Western Australia hub, adding over 155,000 seats in and out of Perth each year, creating jobs to support the local economy and boosting inbound tourism to the state.

These flights have been made possible by funding allocated from the Australian Federal Government to Australian Border Force and the Department of Agriculture Fisheries and Forestry to deliver additional border services at airports. The funding will enable Perth Airport to invest in additional staffing, equipment and facilities that increase border and biosecurity capacity and in turn allow the airport to host more international flights.

The routes will also enable further international connectivity for New Zealand and South Africa on the Qantas network and its comprehensive global airline partner network.
