It plans to operate weekly flights to the Pacific Island “in the coming months” with flights expected to go on sale in the “next few weeks”. The airline explained the service will operate as part of a contract awarded to Qantas by the Federal Government to help maintain strong trade and tourism links between the countries.
Palau, officially the Republic of Palau, is an island country in the Micronesia subregion of Oceania in the western Pacific Ocean. The Republic of Palau consists of approximately 340 islands and is the western part of the Caroline Islands, while the eastern and central parts make up the Federated States of Micronesia.
Services will also increase from one to up to two per week, with the Embraer E190 aircraft operating on the route for the first time.
From the 14th of June Qantas will axe its Sydney-Seoul route as its budget airline Jetstar increases flights to the South Korean capital. There will still be a 4 per cent increase in seats on the route with these changes, which will make Jetstar the largest carrier between Australia and South Korea.
Qantas said customers who are already booked on flights with schedule changes will be contacted in the coming days.
“One of the benefits of our dual brand strategy is the flexibility we have with our combined Qantas and Jetstar fleets,” Qantas Group international chief executive Cam Wallace said.
“Qantas launched flights to Seoul after the pandemic, and now that demand has normalised, it’s grown substantially as a leisure market, opening up a great opportunity for Jetstar to increase its frequencies and allow Qantas to redeploy its aircraft to other routes where we are seeing strong demand.”
