Qantas adds flights to Bali

SYDNEY (Reuters): Australia's flagship airline Qantas Airways
Ltd said yesterday it will suspend flights to Fukuoka, Tokyo,
Jakarta, Bangkok and Vietnam but add services to Bali, Los
Angeles, Singapore, Mumbai and Bali.

Executive general manager, commercial, Geoff Dixon said in a
statement the changes would allow Qantas to redirect capacity to
growth markets, including Europe and the United States.

"We will monitor the situation closely with a view to
reintroducing services when demand begins to strengthen."

Qantas, 25 percent owned by British Airways Plc, said it will
suspend its five weekly flights from Sydney to Fukuoka from
October, a flight from Sydney to Tokyo from August, and two
weekly services to Vietnam from August.

It will also stop its twice weekly flights to Bangkok from
Perth, and reduce its Perth-Jakarta service to twice a week from
three times a week from August.

But Qantas will add two weekly flights to Los Angeles from
September 11, a seventh weekly flight from Sydney to Singapore
and Mumbai from August, a fifth weekly flight from Adelaide to
Singapore from mid-August and a weekly flight from Brisbane to
Denpasar from mid-August.
