QANTAS recommenced flights between Perth and Singapore following a 13-month hiatus from the route.
The airline will operate five return services weekly on a 168-seat Boeing 737, halving capacity from the former 297-seat A330 aircraft service.
A Qantas spokesperson said the Perth-Singapore route was ceased in May 2014 as part of the A$2 billion (US$1.5 billion) cost reduction across the business.
“As part of our transformation programme announced in early 2014, we had to make some difficult decisions to strengthen the business, which included withdrawing from the Perth-Singapore route.
“Since then we’ve turned our international business around, market conditions have changed, and customer demand has increased on the route.
“This is a key strategy of our transformation programme, which is about being more nimble and responding to market conditions and ensuring that we have the right aircraft on the right route.”
The service will arrive in Singapore at 17.20, subject to regulatory approval. Bookings have also commenced, with one-way sale fares available for A$199 (US$154) until April 30.
