SYDNEY, 21 April 2010: Qantas announced today it would resume services between Europe and
Australia and Asia and Europe on Wednesday 21 April (local times).
Scheduled services between Australia and Europe via Asia will recommence tomorrow Thursday 22
April.
Qantas Chief Executive Officer, Mr Alan Joyce, said a range of factors had been taken into
consideration before making the decision to recommence services.
“We have been closely monitoring the evolving situation in Europe and liaising with European
authorities about the opening of airspace across Europe,” he said.
“Qantas welcomes the opening of airspace and we will resume flights out of the UK to Australia today
and from Asia to London and Frankfurt.
“I would like to thank our customers for their patience during this time. We are working on providing
supplementary services to help clear the backlog and we will let our customers know as soon as
possible.
“We estimate it will take approximately two to three weeks to clear the current backlog.”
