In what will be its first commercial service between Australia and India in almost a decade, Qantas, Australia’s national carrier, has announced it will start operating flights between Sydney and Delhi from December 6. However, the airline also clarified that the operations will commence once approvals are received from Indian authorities.
“Flights from Sydney to Delhi would make stoppage in Darwin, while, in the reverse direction, the journey would be non-stop. The flights would be operational thrice a week on the Airbus A330 aircraft,” the Sydney-based carrier said in a statement on Friday, adding that the frequency would be increased by the end of the year, thus making it a daily service.
The flights between Australia’s largest city and India’s national capital would initially function till at least March 2022, with an option to continue if the demand is sufficient, Qantas further said.
