Kolkata: For the first time, Australia’s national airline Qantas will fly non-stop from Bengaluru to Sydney from September 14. It is also finalising a codeshare partnership with IndiGo to make travel between India and Australia easier.
Qantas will operate four weekly return flights between Kempegowda International Airport in Bengaluru and Sydney’s Kingsford Smith International Airport with its widebody Airbus A330 aircraft.
These are the first direct flights between Australia and southern India by any airline, cutting almost three hours off the current fastest trip between Bengaluru and Sydney. Sydney-Bengaluru flights’ tickets go on sale today starting from ₹78,380 return.
