More than 10,000 extra seats will be added each year on Qantas flights between Singapore and Darwin, when the Australia n carrier resumes the route in 2025 with a larger plane than originally planned.
Qantas last operated direct flights between Singapore and Darwin in 2006 using wide-body Boeing 767 planes. In October that year, the airline’s low-cost subsidiary Jetstar took over the route, with the carrier saying then that Jetstar’s model and style of service was the most appropriate since the flights were primarily catered for inbound leisure travellers.
It said the Darwin service would strengthen trade, business and tourism links between Singapore and Australia, and open up a one-stop option for Qantas passengers flying from Darwin to Europe and Asia via Singapore. However, in June 2024, Qantas delayed the launch of its Singapore-Darwin flights to March 2025, citing “operational and scheduling” reasons.
