“We were the first Australian airline to introduce COVID-19 booking flexibility, have put more than 2 million seats on sale in the last week, and rolled out an informative health and wellbeing series on our social media channels to ensure travelers are comfortable when they next fly,” the spokesperson said in a statement to Channel 7.
