AUSTRALIA'S booming tourism industry is set for another boost with Qantas’ first Melbourne-Tokyo Narita service.
The new daily service is being launched in response to strong demand, as #travel between #Japan and #Australia grows at around 20 per cent a year.
It takes the number of seats the national carrier offers on Japanese routes each week to 6,000, following the launch of new Sydney-Tokyo Haneda and Brisbane-Tokyo Narita routes in 2015 – with extensive onward connections in both countries.
Qantas International CEO Gareth Evans said the new route was the latest example of the national carrier growing its international network to meet demand and unlock opportunities for Australia in Asia.
“The clear message from our Japanese customers was that they wanted a direct link into Melbourne – so we’re delighted to be opening up that gateway for them today,” Mr Evans said.
