Impacted guests are being contacted directly.
In light of continued volatility in fuel prices and global economic conditions, Qantas has confirmed a reduction in domestic frequencies in Q4 2026 of around five percentage points.
The carrier confirmed in a market update that affected Qantas and Jetstar customers are being contacted directly and offered alternative flights or a refund.
Qantas Group added that it is closely monitoring the dynamic environment and retains the option to take further actions to mitigate fuel cost increases across the business over time.
The news follows The Flying Kangaroo’s decision last week to redeploy capacity from the US and domestic network to increase flights to Europe.
Qantas also increased airfares last month to mitigate against the spiralling cost of jet fuel.
