For the second consecutive summer, Qantas has rescheduled its direct Perth-Rome flights.
The only direct flights from Australia to Europe
This is the only direct link between Australia and continental Europe. The route will be served three days a week until 3 October 2023, and the airline also confirmed the route for summer 2024, with flights going on sale from the beginning of next July.
The route was supported by the Western Australia government
The launch of the route in 2022 was supported by the State Government through Tourism Western Australia and the Aviation Recovery Fund, part of the A$195 million 'Reconnect WA' programme. “In 2022, we helped Qantas kick off direct flights between Perth and Rome, to secure what was the first ever direct connection to mainland Europe,” Western Australia Premier Roger Cook commented.
