Qantas superjumbo lands in Africa
Qantas has touched down its first ever A380 flights to Africa.
Sydney-Johannesburg flights are now served by the superjumbo, upgrading service with an extra 130,000 seats annually between Australia and Africa.
This nearly doubles overall capacity.
This is also thanks to the relaunch of Perth- Johannesburg flights in mid-2025.
Johannesburg flights will operate up to six times per week.
“We are seeing strong demand for our Johannesburg services and, by upgrading to the Superjumbo, we will nearly double capacity during peak periods,” Qantas International CEO Cam Wallace said.
In addition, Qantas inked an airline codeshare agreement offering expanded connectivity within South Africa.
It gives access to onward flights to nine cities.
“This extra capacity, combined with our new codeshare with Airlink, will significantly expand the options for Qantas customers heading to Africa.”
