Qantas will recommence flights between Perth and Singapore on June 26 following a 13-month hiatus from the route.
The airline will operate five return services weekly on a 168-seat Boeing 737, halving capacity from the former 297-seat A330 aircraft service.
A Qantas spokesperson said the route had ceased operations in May 2014 as part of the company’s A$2 billion (US$1.5 billion) cost reduction programme.
“Since then we’ve turned our international business around, market conditions have changed, and customer demand has increased on the route,” said the spokesperson.
Flight timings were not confirmed at press time, although the spokesperson said the service would arrive in Singapore at 17.20, subject to regulatory approval.
