Qantas Airways to Cut Domestic Capacity Further — Report

Australia-based Qantas Airways Ltd. (QUBSF) plans to reduce its domestic capacity by another 10 percentage points to 60% of pre-pandemic levels in the fiscal third-quarter, ending in March 2022, following the Western Australia state’s decision to delay opening its border indefinitely, a report published by Reuters said.

The Western Australian authorities canceled the opening, which was planned for February 5, citing health risks due to a rise in Omicron cases in eastern states.

Qantas said, “The group retains the flexibility to adjust flying levels depending on demand and clarity on border re-opening in the weeks and months ahead.”
