Qantas has given its strongest indication yet of introducing its own international flights to and from Canberra.

Qantas boss VANESSA HUDSON has already named the Canberra – Singapore route as a plan that’s on the airline’s radar, for some of the carrier’s new planes.

Inparticular, the new A321XLR which comes into the Qantas fleet next year.

It’s a bigger version of the Airbus jets that JETSTAR flies and can handle mid-haul routes.

Its service range can see the jet fly about 11 hours non-stop – sufficient for a direct flight between the national capital and most of south-east Asia.

Chief Minister ANDREW BARR has seized on the comments by the Qantas C.E.O. Saying it’s the strongest signal yet that the flying Kangaroo would launch an international route of the national capital.

The route was once flown by Singapore Airlines prior to the pandemic.
