Australia’s national airline Qantas on Friday announced first direct route between Australia and southern India with non-stop flights between Sydney and Bengaluru from September 14.
The airline will operate four weekly return flights from September with its widebody Airbus A330 flight. These will be the first direct flights between Australia and southern India by any airline, saving customers almost three hours as compared to the current fastest trip between Bengaluru and Sydney available through via flights.
Qantas will continue to operate up to five flights a week between Melbourne and Delhi. The airline had also temporarily launched Sydney-Delhi flights last year in December after the country opened for international flights after a gap of two years. These flights ended in March.
