AHA(WA) welcomes major Qantas boost to Perth’s international connectivity
Qantas will commence direct flights into Perth from Auckland and Johannesburg from December 2025.
The AHA(WA) has welcomed today’s announcement by Qantas to launch two new international routes into Perth, delivering more than 155,000 additional seats in and out of Western Australia each year.
Qantas will commence direct flights into Perth from Auckland and Johannesburg from December 2025, further cementing Perth’s position as a key international gateway and boosting Western Australia’s appeal as a world-class tourism destination.
AHA(WA) CEO Bradley Woods said the increased air capacity will deliver significant benefits to the state’s hotels and hospitality sector.
“This is important for Western Australia’s hospitality and tourism industry,” Mr Woods said. “The new routes open important inbound markets from New Zealand and South Africa, and will help drive demand for hotels, restaurants, pubs, bars and tourism experiences across WA.

“As we continue to promote WA as a premium destination, seamless air travel is vital, and these new routes will make it easier for international visitors to experience everything WA has to offer.”
Qantas will operate both routes three times per week using A330 aircraft, each of which offers 27 business class seats and 224 economy seats.
“This commitment by Qantas to expand Perth’s international network will attract more overseas visitors, create jobs and provide a critical boost to the state’s economy,” Mr Woods said.
