Qantas applies for additional capacity to UK
Wednesday, 19 May 2004


Qantas said today that it had applied to the International Air
Services Commission (IASC) for the right to operate additional
services to
the United Kingdom.

Executive General Manager Qantas Airlines, John Borghetti said
that
the new flights, if approved, would increase Qantas services to the UK
from
21 to 28 per week over the next two years, including via Hong Kong for
the
first time.

The additional seven services include four via Hong Kong and
three via
Singapore.

Mr Borghetti said that if the application were successful,
Qantas
would operate 17 services to the UK each week via Singapore, seven via
Bangkok and four via Hong Kong.

Qantas has also applied to add a further three weekly services
via
Hong Kong to the UK. These flights will not operate until April 2006.
