Two new direct flights from Perth to popular locations
Already available to book, they add more than 155,000 seats in and out of Perth each year.
+ The inaugural Perth to Johannesburg flight is on December 7, 2025. QF65 will fly from Perth on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday, with a flight time of about 11 hours, 15 minutes.
+ The first Perth to Auckland flights is on December 8, 2025. QF111 will fly on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday and take about six hours, 45 minutes.
+ Both routes will operate three times per week on Qantas A330 aircraft. There will be 27 lie-flat business class seats in 1-2-1 configuration, and 224 economy seats.
CEO Qantas International Cam Wallace says: 'Our new Perth to Auckland route offers a convenient one-stop connection for West Australians to New York via Auckland on our popular QF3 service.
'The new direct flight to Johannesburg provides a vital connection for customers in Perth to visit popular cities like Cape Town through our partnership with Airlink.'
A Qantas insider reveals that the flights have been made possible by funding from the Federal Government to Australian Border Force and the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry. They have to deliver additional border services.
A Qantas spokesperson confirms: 'The funding will enable Perth Airport to invest in additional staffing, equipment and facilities that increase border and biosecurity capacity and in turn allow the airport to host more international flights.'
Perth Airport's Chief Commercial and Aviation Officer, Kate Holsgrove, says: 'Creating additional capacity within Terminal 3 and Terminal 4 will allow Qantas to add or expand their services to WA and is an important interim measure as we build new terminal facilities at Airport Central so Qantas can relocate in 2031.'

Qantas puts bigger planes on flights to Trump's America
Qantas is adding seats on flights to and from the United States to meet growing demand from American travellers, defying the downturn plaguing travel agents who say that Donald Trump's immigration policies are deterring visitors to the US. The Australian carrier has reinstated an Airbus A380 service from Sydney to Dallas/Fort Worth and said it would fly daily – instead of five times a week – between Sydney and New York via Auckland in time for the FIFA World Cup, which the US is co-hosting in June next year.

Cyber criminals threaten to leak Qantas customer database
The group responsible for the Qantas data breach in June that exposed the details of 5.7 million customers has threatened to leak the entire trove of stolen data unless it can find a buyer willing to pay $1 million. A message on an encrypted messaging app, also posted to the 'Dark Web', is warning that the data will be leaked 'starting with [judges and officers]' unless a buyer pays $1 million first. 'If you are interested in buying the Qantas database, then contact us ... otherwise we will leak the entire database starting with … judges and officers first,' the message reads. 'Payment is required before data is published, overall!' Qantas said the recent cyber threats were related to the June data breach and that it believes the same cyber criminal group has been posting threats against multiple companies. Two weeks after the data theft, Qantas sought and received an injunction from the NSW Supreme Court to 'prevent the stolen data from being accessed, viewed, released, used, transmitted or published by anyone, including by any third parties'. At the time, the company said it wanted 'to do all we can to protect our customers' personal information and believe this was an important next course of action'. Since the June data breach of Qantas, some cybersecurity researchers have come to believe a second, but a related criminal group may be involved. The groups are highly fluid, share infrastructure and often impersonate each other which can make attribution difficult.
