The 2026 Roy Morgan Trusted Brand Awards saw the carrier retain its title with a strong “net trust score”, reflecting high levels of trust and low levels of distrust in public surveys.
Starting 26 October, the carrier will operate its retrofitted Boeing 777-300ERs on selected CX171 and CX140 services between Perth and Hong Kong until 27 March next year. It comes amid celebrations of Cathay’s 80th anniversary this year.
The “Palau Paradise Express” service, which Qantas began operating in 2024, will increase to two weekly flights from Brisbane starting in December. The route has carried more than 15,400 passengers since its launch, quadrupling pre-COVID traffic to Palau from Australia and Oceania.
The partnership will see Qantas Frequent Flyer members able to redeem their Qantas Points on Condor’s network of more than 70 destinations in Europe, the Mediterranean, North America, Central America, and the Caribbean.
The seasonal service, which recommences on 27 October and runs three times per week until 24 April 2027, will increase by 6,000 seats to 28,000, up 27 per cent on its inaugural season.
More than 600 workers at Qantas Ground Services could down tools in coming weeks after 97 per cent approved a protected action ballot order filed by the Transport Workers’ Union earlier in August, saying pay, safety and conditions have dropped to “rock-bottom levels”.
