Qantas to start new route Perth to Jakarta

[PERLHR]

B737 equipment from 14 Dec 2026. Going head to head with Batik although probably on alternate days...

I believe it’s Qantas ‘requests’ to operate. Virgin will likely get a portion of the capacity so seems unlikely.

When you say Virgin will likely get a portion of the capacity.....what does that mean?
