Qantas Darwin/Singapore Missing from February 2027

[Bashgrog7]

I am looking to fly the Darwin Singapore route on Qantas in March 2027, but the direct flights seem to dry up in February 2027. Loads of other choices offered and of course Singapore Airlines does this route, but Qantas only has the journey via two flights, not direct. Does anybody know if Qantas is dropping this route as a direct flight?

Qantas schedule has flights upto and including 30 JAN 2027 only.

I wrote to the NT Minister for transport and asked her to investigate, this is the response from the ministers office:

1. Qantas advised it will not operate the Darwin–Singapore route in February and March 2027, with an intention to resume services in April 2027.

2. In recent days, all of our airline partners (including Qantas) have advised they are experiencing a significant change in the business landscape due to a sudden increase in the price of oil. Therefore, route operating plans are subject to change.

3. Aside from Qantas, at this stage, Singapore Airlines offers flights between Darwin and Singapore 7 times a week throughout the year.
