Qantas raises fares

Qantas has raised fares on 14 domestic routes by $10 per sector as the airline attempts to recover some of the yield lost due to the weakness in the economy.

The airline recently issued a message to travel agents noting that the increase was across all fare classes. A spokesman told The Age newspaper that it was “just part of our periodic review of fares”, and comes after the airline made adjustments to its fare levels this year which appear to have stuck despite the increased competition in the domestic market.
