'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.'
