"Six months ago we would never have thought that we would not be able to get on a plane and visit family members in other parts of the country or travel internationally," said company boss Alan Joyce. According to the announcement, the flight was sold out after a short time.
Qantas is also confident in the long term: "After overcoming this crisis, we will be the only Australian airline that can operate long-haul flights," the airline said.
