The airline will instead fly the QF9 service, which originates in Melbourne, through Darwin or Singapore to London while it waits for Western Australia to reopen.
"Based on our discussions with Western Australia we know their borders won't be open to NSW and Victoria until early next year, so we've sadly had to cancel the flying we had planned on those routes in the lead-up to Christmas," Mr Joyce said. "We're now planning to ramp up flying between Melbourne and Sydney, which is usually the second busiest air route in the world, almost a month earlier than expected," Mr Joyce said.
"We saw a 175 per cent spike in web searches in the week after we announced our plans and we've seen strong bookings for December and January for our flights to London, Los Angeles and Singapore in particular.
PROTECT WA AT ALL COST!!!
Well nobody is going so it's not a problem.
Considering the recent rise of the 4th Reich terrorising the public on a daily basis, you couldn't pay me enough to want to visit Australia anytime soon!
plalor For us West Aussies that are fully vaccinated let us travel, and sort out a reasonable home quarantine option if we must.
Good. Close down the Qantas terminal and tell them to move round to terminal 1 where they should be.
