It became the first direct flight between Australia and continental Europe operated by any airline, establishing itself as the fastest route connecting the two continents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Currently, Qantas connects Perth with London, Paris, Rome, and Singapore. Furthermore, from December 2025, it will add direct flights to Johannesburg and Auckland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Qantas&#8217;s Vision<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Cam Wallace, CEO of Qantas International, highlighted the popularity of this link: &#8220;Rome is one of Europe&#8217;s most iconic destinations, and our customers value being able to depart Perth in the evening and wake up in the Italian capital.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wallace noted that over half of the passengers come from Australia&#8217;s east coast and that the schedules are designed to facilitate connections in Perth with domestic flights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The executive emphasized that the capacity expansion will allow more Australians to take advantage of non-stop European routes, which record some of the highest satisfaction levels within the airline&#8217;s international network. He also underscored that in 2026, nearly 300,000 seats will be available between Perth and the European capitals of London, Paris, and Rome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"
