CEB is set to relaunch the Melbourne to Manila service at the end of March, using the airline’s fleet of Airbus A330’s, which can carry between 436 and 459 passengers per aircraft. The route will operate three times a week.
The UAE based airline will be adding a third daily service from Melbourne to Dubai, stopping at Singapore on March 26, before adding a daily direct flight from Sydney to Dubai on May 1.
Despite travel capacities being reduced, the route is now the fifth busiest in the world, up from sixth last October thanks to a surge over the summer holiday period.
Flight QF102 requested a priority landing back at Nadi airport not long after taking off from Fiji on a trip destined for Sydney, with fumes from the aircraft galley oven cited as the issue.
Qantas flight QF430 turned around after only reaching Bonnie Doon roughly 10 minutes into its flight and landed back at Tullamarine airport at 10:18 am.
