Qantas to Launch Gold Coast - Sydney Flights

From late October 2012, Qantas will commence three daily return services between the Gold Coast and Sydney using Boeing 737-800 aircraft.

The Gold Coast passenger lounge, currently used by Jetstar, will undergo a refurbishment and be reopened as a Qantas Club by the end of 2012.

Qantas will also introduce smarter, faster check-in kiosks for ease of checking-in for Qantas passengers at the airport.

"Qantas and all of our people are very excited to return to the Gold Coast and relaunch services between Sydney and the Gold Coast," said Qantas Group Chief Executive Officer, Alan Joyce. "With the massive development of south-east Queensland, the Gold Coast is Australia's sixth-largest city and a fast-growing premium travel market. Our customers have told us that they want a premium leisure and business service, complementing Jetstar’s existing services as part of our two-brand strategy, and we are responding to that demand."
