SYDNEY -- Australian carrier Qantas Airways projects that passenger capacity for domestic flights will climb to 90% of pre-COVID levels during the April-June quarter thanks to the return of leisure and business traffic.
This revival reflects Australia's success at controlling the spread of infections in urban areas. Last month, the government debuted half-off discounts on air tickets for major tourist destinations such as the Gold Coast and Cairns as a way to stimulate those local economies.
