Qantas is adding more flights to the Asian hub cities of Singapore and Hong Kong next month.
Starting on December 1, the airline will operate on Tuesday and Thursday year-round between Perth and Singapore, increasing the frequency from five times a week to daily service.
The carrier will also operate a second Friday flight between Sydney and Hong Kong seasonally between December 11, 2015 and March 23, 2016, boosting the frequency to 12 flights per week on the route.
"We’re seeing Australian companies continue to expand their business in Asia, while the lower dollar is making Australia an even more attractive place to visit," said Qantas International’s CEO, Gareth Evans.
"Hong Kong-Sydney is a busy trade corridor and we’re delighted to be able to give business travellers and holidaymakers more choice of flights on this route."
Selected services will be upgraded to Qantas’ Airbus A380, during the busy Christmas and New Year period, the airline said.
"Asia is a strategic priority for Qantas and we’re going to continue to support Australia’s growth in the region by maximising our fleet, deepening our partnerships, and offering what we believe is the best premium service in the market," Evans added.
