Qantas resumes capacity recovery trajectory after Omicron setback

Positive demand trends are allowing Qantas to boost passenger capacity as it rebuilds its domestic network in the wake of the latest COVID-19 wave.

As Australia gradually relaxes its international travel rules Qantas is also ramping up international services.

The Qantas group had to cut its capacity plans in Jan-2022 when the Omicron variant of the coronavirus hit travel demand.

As the latest wave of the pandemic eases, however, the airline is once again projecting a capacity recovery. Omicron has effectively delayed this recovery timeline, but Qantas is now more optimistic that its projections will hold firm.
