The service will generate over 45,000 annual seat capacity between Perth (PER) and Newcastle (NCL), addressing demand from resource sector workers and business travellers.

The reinstated route adds 32,000 annual seats to the Perth-Hobart corridor, supporting tourism flows between Western Australia and Tasmania.

Both routes will utilise QantasLink’s Airbus A319 aircraft, currently deployed for intrastate Western Australia services supporting the resources sector. The 150-seat economy configuration includes complimentary meals and checked baggage allowances, while passengers access Qantas Entertainment systems through personal devices.
The aircraft features established entertainment platforms enabling movie and television streaming, though in-flight WiFi services remain unavailable on these specific aircraft types.
The new routes strengthen Perth’s position as QantasLink’s western hub, offering passengers one-stop connections to international destinations including London, Paris, and seasonal Rome services. This connectivity expansion supports both inbound tourism to Western Australia and outbound travel options for regional passengers.
