Attention all Qantas and OCCA International Crew
QANTAS TO DALLAS
In a media release of 10am this morning, Qantas announced the cessation of San Francisco Flights. The last flight will depart San Francisco on 14th May 2011 and arrive in Sydney on 16th May 2011. I am sure you will all agree that San Francisco has been a Qantas Crew Favourite port for many years and it will be sorely missed on our network.
At the same time Qantas is announcing flights to Dallas Fort Worth, which will commence on Monday the 16th May 2011.
The flights will operate four (4) times a week Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. The route will be SYD/DFW/BNE/SYD and crewing arrangements have not been discussed at this stage however it will be operated by a 747-400 (three class) and the newly configured 747's will be deployed to that route when they come online.
Dallas Fort Worth is a significant OneWorld Hub for Qantas' partner American Airlines. It is also the fourth largest metropolitan area in the United States. Over 59 Million passengers travelled to DFW in 2009 with 59% of those passengers continuing onward to other destinations.
Qantas will also increase frequency of its Los Angeles-New York Service from six times per week to daily from June 2011.
