Qantas has announced plans to make Perth its second largest airport hub on the Australian continent, with new routes planned for Asia, India, Europe and Africa. The airline is facing significant financial pressure from soaring fuel costs, spending $3.75 billion in six months and cutting domestic capacity by 4 per cent. These factors are expected to lead to increased airfares, while platinum frequent flyers continue to demand more reward seat availability.
