Qantas begins Melbourne to Delhi flights
Qantas launched the first flight from Melbourne to Delhi and revealed almost all flights this month are fully booked on the route.
"Usually it takes 12 months to sell out flights on a new international route, but these flights sold out in a few hours," Qantas Domestic and International CEO Andrew David said.
"It goes to show how much pent-up demand there is for travel, especially from people wanting to see family and friends after borders were closed for so long."
"We’re also seeing even more demand for flights from Delhi to Melbourne with international students and skilled migrants now able to return to Australia."
Flights from Melbourne to Delhi are initially operating via Adelaide, while flights from Delhi to Melbourne operate nonstop.
With almost all domestic borders reopened, passengers from other cities are now able to fly on the Melbourne-Delhi service with one-stop connections via Adelaide.
Since the reopening of Australia’s borders, Qantas has restarted key international routes out of Melbourne including Los Angeles, London and Singapore.
All passengers on Qantas international flights are required to be fully vaccinated, unless they are under 12 years old, are 12-17 years old travelling to Australia with their family or guardian or have an exemption.
