Qantas reroutes Sydney-London A380 flights via Singapore to meet strong Asia demand

SINGAPORE (Aug 31): As part of its agreement to extend its partnership with Emirates for another five years, Qantas Airways has announced that it will now provide three stopover options to Europe via Dubai, Perth and Singapore via its joint network.

In a filing to the Australian Exchange (ASX) on Thursday, the national flag carrier says it will reroute its daily Sydney-London A380 service via Singapore, rather than Dubai, and upgrade its existing Melbourne-Singapore flight from an A330 to an A380.

Meanwhile, its existing Melbourne-Dubai-London service will be replaced with its Dreamliner service flying the Melbourne-Perth-London route.
