Qantas delays international restart, as Joyce issues hermit state warning – Travel Weekly

Qantas Group has pushed back its planned restart of international flights beyond the trans-Tasman bubble from the end of October 2021 to late December.
The decision comes after last night’s Federal Budget announcement revealed Australia’s vaccine rollout is expected to be completed at the end of 2021, meaning the international border isn’t expected to reopen until mid-2022.
Qantas Group said it remains optimistic that additional bubbles will open once Australia’s vaccine rollout is complete “to countries who, by then, are in a similar position, but it’s difficult to predict which ones at this stage”.
“This planning assumption will allow the Qantas Group – and Australia – to be ready to take advantage of pockets of tourism and trade opportunity as they emerge in a post-COVID world,” the company said in a statement.
