Qantas new flight from Perth to Johannesburg is expected to significantly boost inbound arrivals from the rapidly growing Australasian market and take pressure off the Sydney-Johannesburg flight, which has experienced passenger growth of 48 over the past year.
The thrice-weekly flight, which made its first touchdown in Johannesburg on Sunday, December 7, adds over 150 000 seats annually between the two cities.
Weve really been advocating for this particular service for some time, particularly considering the really high demand on our Sydney flights, which have carried over 340 000 customers since the start of 2024 and have enjoyed 48 passenger growth over the past 12 months, said Darsh Chapman , Qantas Regional GM for UK, Europe, Middle East and Africa.
