Qantas Airways Launches Perth to Paris Route, Marking Its Third Route to Europe from Perth

Qantas Airways has launched its Perth to Paris/Charles de Gaulle route on July 12.

Timed to coincide with the Paris Olympics and Paralympics, the service operates four return flights a week from Perth on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday, and from Paris/Charles de Gaulle on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. The service will reduce to three weekly flights in mid-August. It’s approximately 20 years since Qantas last flew to Paris. The flight duration is 17 hours and 20 minutes from Perth, and 16 hours and 35 minutes from Paris/Charles de Gaulle, utilizing specially designed Boeing 787-9 aircraft for long-haul routes.

This marks approximately 20 years since Qantas has operated flights to Paris, resulting in a time saving of about 3 hours. Qantas currently operates direct flights from Perth to London and Rome with high customer satisfaction for these two routes. From Sydney, Qantas operates flights to London via Singapore. This will result in an annual increase of over 75,000 seats between Europe and Australia.

To celebrate the launch, limited edition pajamas and amenity kits designed by Martin Grant, along with business-class in-flight meals featuring traditional French cuisine supervised by Neil Perry, are offered. Passengers can enjoy a selection of Paris-themed movies as part of the in-flight entertainment on all routes.
