“Qantas last night sealed the acquisition of two prized landing slots into London’s Heathrow Airport in a deal worth about pound stg. 20 million that will give the airline the opportunity to increase flights to the UK.
The deal will give Qantas an additional two landing and take-off slots every day.
The airline, which has already restored its London service to the pre-SARS level of 21 flights a week, could theoretically offer an additional 14 services a week with the new slots.”

Qantas have indeed done well to get 2 pairs of LHR slots for 20 mill…but in the same sale Virgin picked up 4 pairs for 20 mill. All these slots came from Flybe.

Ah, good to see the good ol’ Kangaroo route doing well.
Its always been one of the primary destinations from Heathrow, ever since jets got the range to fly to it in a reasonable time.
Go Qantas go!

That’s a tremendous idea, if the load factors warrant such a route.
