Qantas has seen rebound in demand for Australia-US flights, executive says

Qantas Airways has seen travel demand pick up again on routes linking Australia with the United States, in both directions, according to Business Recorder. Cam Wallace, the carrier's international and freight chief executive, told analysts on Thursday that the airline has enough seats to meet the extra demand. He said the company was pleased with how the transpacific routes had performed over the past six months.

The carrier had posted softer international results in the first half of the fiscal year that ended June 30. A weaker Australian dollar made US trips more expensive for travellers from its home market, which prompted the airline to shift some seats toward destinations such as Singapore and Europe. The airline's latest comments mark a shift from that earlier period.
