AirlineRatings.com Editor-in-Chief Geoffrey Thomas appeared on Channel 9 News to discuss the new Qantas Perth to Paris nonstop flight.
QF33 took off at 7:53 pm local time on Friday, July 12, and is due to land in the French capital ahead of schedule at 5:45 am – 55 minutes early. Supported by the WA Government, the scheduled 17-hour Qantas flight will operate four days per week throughout the European summer and the Paris Olympics. It will continue year-round, three times per week from mid-August 2024 on Boeing 787 aircraft.
The new Qantas non-stop link will add more than 75,000 additional seats between Europe and Perth each year – including around 37,500 inbound passengers to WA per year – and will cut more than three hours off the current fastest travel time between Paris and Perth. The route will also provide seamless connections with more than 70 other destinations, including Athens, Barcelona, and Frankfurt, boosting tourism opportunities across the continent.
