The first direct connection from and to Australia in the history of civil aviation: Qantas, Australia’s leading airline, will offer three flights a week between Rome and Perth from 23 June 2022, to meet growing demand during the summer period. On board a Boeing 787/900 Dreamliner, passengers departing from Fiumicino Airport will thus be able to reach the westernmost point of the Australian continent in 15 hours and 45 minutes, with the possibility of choosing whether to continue on the same aircraft to Sydney.
The strategic choice to serve Rome as the first and only gateway to Continental Europe is the result of a long period of collaboration between Qantas and Aeroporti di Roma, with the support of the main national institutions of the respective countries. In addition to directly connecting Australia with Italy, the choice of Rome will allow Qantas to connect its passengers to major European and Italian destinations, thanks to collaboration agreements with other partner airlines operating at the Rome airport.
