Qantas has released that the Federal Government has revised its anticipated timeline for the completion of Australia’s vaccine rollout to end-2021 and its timeline for significantly reopening its international borders to mid-2022. In light of these two dates, the Qantas Group will adjust its planned international flights from end-October 2021 to late December 2021. (Trans-Tasman flights are unchanged.)
The Group remains optimistic that additional bubbles will open once Australia’s vaccine rollout is complete to countries which, by then, will be in a similar position, but it is difficult to predict which ones at this stage.
This planning assumption will allow the Qantas Group – and Australia – to be ready to take advantage of pockets of tourism and trade opportunities as they emerge in a post-COVID world
