Qantas is making a series of updates to its Asia network with schedule changes and launch of a new route.
Suspension of Sydney-Shanghai flights
From 28 July 2024, flights to Shanghai will be suspended due to low demand.
Qantas resumed its Sydney-Shanghai service in October last year after it was paused during COVID, however demand has not recovered as anticipated.
Qantas will continue to monitor the Australia-China market closely and will look to return to Shanghai when demand has recovered.
Customers can continue to travel to Shanghai and other destinations in China on Qantas flights to Hong Kong with onward connections on partner airlines. Qantas Frequent Flyers can earn and redeem Qantas Points when travelling with partner airlines.
Customers booked to travel on Shanghai flights from 28 July will be contacted and offered a full refund, or they can contact Qantas or their travel agent to discuss rebooking on alternative flights.
Aircraft used on this route will be redirected to boost flying to other destinations across Asia where there is increasing demand or new tourism opportunities.
New route from Brisbane to Manila
Customers will have access to a new international route out of Brisbane with the flying kangaroo set to begin flights to Manila.* From 28 October 2024, the route will operate four days per week with Airbus A330 aircraft, marking the first time the airline has flown between the two cities in more than 10 years.
The flights add to Qantas’ existing daily service from Sydney and will add more than 100,000 seats between Australia and the Philippines each year.
Additional flying to Singapore and India
Qantas will increase flying to Singapore by around 10 per cent, offering more than 2,500 additional seats per week between Australia and the Lion City.
Flights from Sydney to Bengaluru will also increase from five per week to daily to cater for strong demand over the peak holiday season.* The extra flights will operate between mid-December 2024 and late March 2025, adding over 12,000 seats between the two cities over the four-month period.
*Subject to government and regulatory approval.

Aer Lingus’ inaugural service direct to Denver Colorado, took flight on May 17 at 3:30pm from Dublin Airport and marks the airline’s largest ever North American network. The new Dublin – Denver route will operate four times weekly and is served by an Airbus A330.
Those looking to explore the ‘Mile High City’ and beyond can enjoy €100 off Economy and €200 off Business fares to the US, until midnight 19th May. The offer is valid for travel from 1st August through 30th November this year.
All photos below from Denver International Airport:
On the financial side, Aer Lingus had an operating loss of €82 million for the first quarter of 2024, in line with Quarter 1 of 2023. Quarter 1 is typically the weakest quarter of the year for the airline and follows a full year 2023 operating profit of €225m. While revenue increased and overall capacity grew by 4% compared to Q1 2023, the operating loss remained in line with Q1 2023 due to higher costs. The increased capacity reflected an early Easter and more premium leisure traffic. Capacity on North American routes increased by 2% with Europe up 7%.
The airline’s summer season has now started, and Aer Lingus is operating its biggest ever North American network in Summer 2024 including the commencement of new services from Dublin to Minneapolis/St. Paul and Denver and an expanded European leisure network.
Aer Lingus continues to invest in improving customer experience, including redeeming AerClub flights on aerlingus.com, a new menu on long-haul services, a wider range of in-flight entertainment options, refurbished aircraft interiors, upgraded onboard Wi-Fi and a new lounge in Terminal 3 at Chicago O’ Hare Airport. Aer Lingus will also benefit from an agreement between IAG and a California based company Twelve, to secure the production of e-SAF for airlines in the group, a key element in achieving sustainability objectives.
Lynne Embleton, CEO, Aer Lingus said, “Our Q1 2024 financial results were in line with Q1 2023 in what is typically the weakest quarter of the year. We are committed to our growth strategy for Aer Lingus that will benefit the company, our employees, our customers, and the economy. However, it is critical that we remain focused on managing our cost base and that economic growth is not constrained by the passenger cap issue at Dublin Airport. Dublin Airport is a critical piece of strategic national infrastructure, and the passenger cap issue needs to be urgently resolved – this requires both leadership from Government and action by the parties involved.”

Northeast pioneered service from its Boston base throughout the New England states and into Canada in the 1930s. By the time Northeast merged with Delta on August 1, 1972, its famous “Yellowbirds” were jetting to Florida, the Bahamas and Bermuda, and across country to Los Angeles, California.

Northeast Airlines’ roots go back to the first attempt at establishing airline service in the New England states north of Boston, Massachusetts. Local railroads were seeking to participate in this new, growing form of transport. Boston and Maine Railroad, in partnership with the Maine Central Railroads, formed a subsidiary called the Boston-Maine Airways in July 1931.
Entire airline operated under contract by Pan American Airways, or “Pan Am”. Beginning on August 1, 1931, Pan Am Fokker F-10A planes flew between Boston and Bangor, Maine. From Bangor, Pan Am flew Sikorsky S-41B flying boats to Halifax, Nova Scotia, due to the lack of suitable landing fields.
Just two months later, on September 30, the airline ceased operations. One of the Sikorsky planes had crashed in Massachusetts Bay on August 27, 1931, closing this experimental chapter of Northeast’s history.
In 1933, Boston and Maine Railroad again formed a Boston-Maine Airways subsidiary, which started service on August 11, 1933, from Boston to Portland and Bangor, Maine, using eight-passenger Stinson T planes. The fare from Boston to Bangor cost $23 round-trip.
The carrier’s early flights were operated under contract by National Airways, whose founders included Paul Collins, one of the country’s first airmail pilots; Samuel J. Solomon, a pioneer airport operator; Eugene Vidal, a West Point graduate; and Amelia Earhart, the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic.
National Airways made a similar operating agreement on October 27, 1933, with Central Vermont Airways, founded by the Central Vermont Railroad (owned by Canadian National Railway). National Airways coordinated the two railroad-sponsored airlines as one, hyphenating the two railroad names and issuing joint timetables and fares. Central Vermont’s route extended from Boston to New Hampshire and Vermont, and on March 20, 1934, to Montreal, Canada.
In 1937, Boston and Maine purchased National Airways’ assets, including its airmail contract, and in November 1940, renamed it Northeast Airlines.
Boston-Maine Airways established one of the first pilot training courses in U.S. in 1939. Excellent reputation of this program resulted in federal government requesting Northeast to operate a wartime national defense program for training advanced flight instructors.
During World War II, Northeast’s experiences with frigid weather flying also proved invaluable. Northeast pilots were the first to explore the Arctic airways as they made Air Transport Command flights to Labrador, Newfoundland, Greenland, Iceland and Scotland.
Through mergers and route awards, Northeast rapidly expanded in the post-war period. In July 1944, it took over a route from Newark, New Jersey (serving New York) to Springfield, Massachusetts, previously operated by Airline Feeder System. In August 1944, Northeast acquired small Mayflower Airlines and began service to Cape Cod, Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts.
Employees cheered when Northeast was certified to serve New York from Boston in 1945. An “Every Hour on the Hour” shuttle service between the two cities started in 1946.
Route Map December 16, 1947:
Service to Florida started in the mid 1950s, after Northeast was awarded a temporary certificate to operate to Miami/Ft. Lauderdale from Boston, via Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, DC, and Tampa and Jacksonville, Florida.
The Jet Age was a roller coaster ride of highs and lows for Northeast!
Among the highs…Northeast was one of the first U.S. carriers to offer Boeing 707 jet service, initially between New York and Miami in 1959.

Northeast was also the first airline in the world to operate the Boeing 727-200, on December 14, 1967.
In 1966 the carrier acquired a new image as Northeast planes became known as “Yellowbirds” because of their new yellow-and-white painted exteriors. “Yellowbird” would become a household word in the areas served by Northeast.In spite of initial setbacks, Northeast experienced significant route expansion.
Late in 1962, the Civil Aeronautics Board decided to terminate Northeast’s temporary certificate to fly to Miami. After years of legal appeals and an unprecedented display of local support from the New England community, Northeast was finally granted a permanent certificate for Florida service in 1967. Service quickly expanded to the Bahamas in 1968, to Bermuda in 1969, and coast-to-coast with a new Miami-Los Angeles route on October 1, 1969.
Expansion to Los Angeles:
Persistence financial difficulties and changes in ownership were also part of the 1960s. On May 8, 1962, the Hughes Tool Company, led by famous billionaire Howard Hughes, acquired controlling interest in Northeast Airlines from the Atlas Corporation, which had owned the company since 1938. After the CAB denied renewal of Northeast’s Florida route, Hughes announced that he would no longer cover further operating losses. His 55% of the stock was temporarily acquired by trustee L.J. Hector in 1964, then by the Storer Broadcasting Company in 1965.
Despite the new routes added in the late 1960s, Northeast’s financial problems failed to improve. It was these difficulties that led to the search for a merger partner, and on August 1, 1972, the merger between Delta and Northeast Airlines became effective.
The acquisition made Delta the fifth largest airline in the U.S. at the time, with routes spanning 33,300 miles. Delta added new international destinations to Canada, Bahamas and Bermuda, and frequent service between the Northeast and Florida.
