Qantas airways on Wednesday launched a new route from Bengaluru (BLR) to Sydney (SYD), providing the first direct connection between southern India and Australia by any airline.
QF68 will cut nearly three hours off the current fastest travel time between the two cities and significantly boost connectivity between India and New South Wales, Australia’s national airline said.
Since the announcement of the new service earlier this year, the route has seen strong demand, with both the outbound and inbound inaugural flights sold out in all cabins, it said in a statement.
