In July 2024, travelers can look forward to the commencement of new Flight routes connecting Perth and Paris, courtesy of Qantas. This development brings with it a substantial increase in travel capacity to and from Europe, with over 75,000 additional seats available annually. Furthermore, it promises to be the quickest means for West Australians to reach the vibrant city of Paris.

Partnership between Qantas and WA Tourism

This significant move is the result of a partnership between Qantas and WA Tourism, aimed at promoting Perth as a global destination. Building on the success of Qantas’ unique direct routes from Perth to London and Rome, this year-round service marks the first time in nearly two decades that Qantas will operate direct flights to the French capital.

17-hour flights between Perth and Paris.

Starting from July 12, 2024, Qantas will operate the 17-hour flights between Perth and Paris. During the peak of the European summer, these flights will initially run four days a week using the airline’s Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft. From mid-August 2024, the service frequency will be adjusted to three flights per week.

Vanessa Hudson, the Qantas Group CEO, expressed her excitement about reintroducing Paris to the Qantas route map and providing Australians with direct access to the enchanting city. She highlighted the popularity of their direct routes to London and Rome and acknowledged that Paris has been a highly requested destination. Additionally, the service is expected to cater to the needs of Australian athletes traveling to Paris for the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Hudson emphasized that Qantas stands out as the sole airline offering direct flights to these destinations, prioritizing the Australian market. She mentioned that this expansion will add more than 75,000 seats annually between Australia and Europe, and they are keen to collaborate with Tourism WA to leverage this opportunity for boosting tourism.

The Qantas Group’s international capacity has been increasing with the introduction of new aircraft and growing operations, with a plan to reach over 90 percent of pre-COVID levels by the year’s end and full recovery to 100 percent by the middle of the following year.

The newly introduced flights will operate from Qantas’ current terminal at Perth Airport, Terminal 3, ensuring seamless connections to other domestic Australian destinations. There are ongoing discussions between Qantas and Perth Airport about relocating operations to Terminal 1.

WA Premier Roger Cook expressed his pride in securing these direct flight connections, further solidifying Western Australia’s reputation as the Western Gateway to Australia on the global stage.
