Qantas will resume New York flights as demand improves
SYDNEY - Qantas Airways, Australia's largest carrier, has said it will resume flights to New York - via Los Angeles - starting on Feb 27 as demand for international travel is picking up.
The Sydney-based carrier will fly the route three times a week, and will also add three new weekly services to Hongkong from March 31, Qantas said in a statement to the Australian Stock Exchange.
The airline will route all services to Frankfurt, Paris and Rome via Singapore from March 31.
Qantas suspended some international services after demand for travel slumped, following the Sept 11 terrorist attacks in the United States.
The Australian carrier said it now sees signs of a recovery.
'These adjustments reflect the fact that travel on some international routes is showing signs of improvement,' Qantas chief executive Geoff Dixon said in a statement. --Bloomberg News
