Qantas has advised that the new quarantine rules for people travelling to Australia and New Zealand will force it to further reduce capacity on some routes. The airline recently cut capacity on domestic and international routes by five per cent and 23 per cent respectively in response to falling demand for air travel due to the coronavirus. A spokesman for Virgin Australia says the airline is still assessing its response to the new travel restrictions, while Air New Zealand has flagged redundancies and a looming 85 per reduction in international capacity.

Qantas and American Airlines intend to expand their joint venture’s trans-Pacific routes. The airlines are seeking final regulatory approval for flights between Australasia and mainland North America, stating in a submission filed with the US Department of Transportation that they would add at least two new trans-Pacific routes. This will be possible once Boeing starts delivering its 787-9 aircraft to Qantas in 2017.
