Qantas Launches Non-Stop Flights Between Perth and Paris, France

Dark/Light Mode
(15/07/24)
 Qantas has launched non-stop flights between
Perth and Paris, France.

Covering a distance of 14,264km and a flight time
of 17 hours 20 minutes, the service represents the first time in
20 years that Qantas flies to France’s capital city.

The route
will cut around three hours off the current fastest travel time
between the two cities and is the longest non-stop flight to
France from anywhere in the world.

Qantas will initially
operate the route with four flights per week using a 3-class,
236-seat Boeing 787-9 aircraft, before moving to a thrice weekly
service from mid-August.

Flight QF33 is scheduled to depart from Perth
(PER) at 19:35, arriving at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG)
at 06:55, the following day.

From Perth, flight QF34 is timed to leave at 10:00
and arrive in Perth at 08:30 the following day.

The new route will add an additional 75,000 seats
between Australia and Europe each year.

“There is a lot of excitement amongst our customers and crew
that Qantas is returning to Paris and that it’s a non-stop flight
between Perth and Paris,” said Qantas Group CEO, Vanessa Hudson. “In recent years
we have seen a significant increase in customers wanting to fly
direct on long-haul routes and avoiding stopovers wherever possible. Our direct flights from Perth to London and Rome have
some of the highest customer satisfaction on our international
network. With these new flights, our customers can depart
Perth in the evening and arrive in Paris in time to enjoy brunch
overlooking the Eiffel Tower.”

The route launch follows a
agreement signed between Qantas and Perth Airport that will help unlock
the airline’s western hub, which along with group’s fleet renewal
program, will see Qantas add 4.4 million additional seats to
and from Perth by 2031.
