Qantas increases domestic services


The Qantas Group (QF) will increase capacity on QF, Jetstar and QantasLink domestic routes in 2012-13 to strengthen its network in the business and leisure markets, the company said in a statement.
Changes include upgrading aircraft and adding more frequencies, including extra services during peak times on business routes between Sydney (SYD), Melbourne (MEL) and Brisbane (BNE). It will also reintroduce Boeing 747 services on the SYD-Perth (PER) route, QF said.
Adding more Airbus A330 services on the MEL-PER route will increase capacity in the east-west market, according to QF.
Jetstar will increase capacity in key leisure markets and QantasLink will increase capacity across Queensland with the introduction of Fokker F100 services between BNE and Emerald, complementing Bombardier Q400 services and providing cascaded growth in key regional markets.
These measures will ensure that the Qantas Group maintains its profit-maximizing 65% market share, while retaining the flexibility to adjust planned capacity growth according to market conditions, QF said.
