Qantas to increase Services to New York

Qantas is to increase the number of services it operates to New York from three to five per week from 27 February 2006.

The Executive General Manager of Qantas, Mr John Borghetti, said the addition of two extra services each week, operating from Sydney via Los Angeles, would provide customers with additional choices for travel to New York.

"In particular, it will provide Australian businesses with better access to markets on the US East Coast."

The additional New York services will operate into JFK Airport on Mondays and Saturdays using three-class Boeing 747-400 aircraft with Qantas' Skybed in business class.

Qantas currently operates services to New York on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays.
