The cost of flying is expected to be reduced in the coming months, with predictions airfares will fall as airlines add extra capacity to meet soaring demand.
Qantas boss Alan Joyce on Tuesday said the cost of flying will be further reduced as more capacity comes into the market.
"We're now in a position where we're over 100 per cent of pre-COVID domestic capacity and as a result you're seeing airfares normalising domestically. "We have an extra A380 being reactivated in July, we have a new 787 arriving in July and we've done an arrangement with Finnair to help in the short-term bring more capacity in from October.Mr Joyce has pointed to a recent Australian Competition and Consumer Commission report which found the"easing of demand is reflected in cheaper airfares in 2023 so far".
"We're seeing a lot of very attractive airfares out there in the market. In fact this week we had a very big international sale to the United States," he said. Alan Joyce said Jetstar will fly 10 million passengers for under $100 this year. Picture: NCA NewsWire / Nicholas Eagar
