QANTAS ENHANCES BRISBANE-HONG KONG SCHEDULE

BRISBANE, 23 December 2009: Qantas today announced new operating times for its Brisbane- Hong Kong services to provide greater convenience and better connections for customers.

Qantas Regional General Manager Queensland, Mr Andrew Hogg, said: "We will change our operating schedule from 28 March 2010 to provide greater convenience for our customers travelling to Hong Kong and beyond."

QF97 from Brisbane to Hong Kong will move from an 11.15am departure to an 11.05pm departure, arriving in Hong Kong at 6.05am local time the following day.

"Our customer research tells us that this change has significant appeal to both business and leisure travellers," Mr Hogg said.

"The new times will give customers access to a wider range of connections from Hong Kong on to London and North East Asia, including Beijing and Shanghai.

"QF97 will operate four flights a week on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays, and will now connect with QF29 between Hong Kong and London, providing an additional United Kingdom option to QF51 from Brisbane to London via Singapore."

The return flight QF98 from Hong Kong to Brisbane will operate on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays, departing Hong Kong at 11.15pm and arriving in Brisbane at 9.55am the following day.

Qantas will also increase its services from Queensland to Hong Kong in February to accommodate increased demand over the Lunar New Year period. The following services will complement Qantas' regular flights between Brisbane, Cairns and Hong Kong:

* six Hong Kong-Cairns services 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 and 16 February;
* three Hong Kong-Brisbane services 12, 13 and 15 February; and
* one Brisbane-Hong Kong services 15 February.
