Qantas Extends Network Capacity Cuts While Boosting Europe Flights

Qantas Airways Limited ( (AU:QAN) ) just unveiled an update.

Qantas Airways and its low-cost unit Jetstar are extending previously announced schedule changes into the first quarter of FY27, as the group works to manage the impact of the Middle East conflict, elevated fuel prices and strong demand for travel to Europe. The airline is reallocating aircraft to boost Europe capacity, while trimming services on some other international and domestic routes to better align with prevailing market and cost conditions.

To support Europe demand, Qantas will keep additional Perth–Rome flights running through October and maintain thrice-weekly Sydney–Singapore–Paris services, adding about 2,000 seats per week between Australia and Europe. At the same time, it is temporarily suspending Sydney–Bengaluru flights, reducing trans-Tasman capacity, and extending a 5 percentage point cut to domestic capacity through September, moves that may constrain seat availability but aim to protect margins and operational resilience.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:QAN) stock is a Buy with a A$10.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Qantas Airways Limited stock, see the AU:QAN Stock Forecast page.
