Qantas had previously cancelled the business and economy class seating flights in June this year. The three-weekly return flights are expected to provide more than 1,300 seats per week and more than 30,000 seats across the end-of-year travel period.
“We’re delighted to bring back our non-stop connection between Delhi and Melbourne, just in time for the busy travel season,” Qantas International chief executive Cam Wallace said.
“Flying direct significantly reduces travel time to Australia, and these new flights are perfectly suited for Indian fans attending cricket events in Melbourne, including the T20 series in late October, the Ashes and Big Bash League later in the year.”
The airline has previously announced new offices opened in Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru to meet demand from the public in India.
