QANTAS DUD OUT

26 May 2000

 

Lack of forward bookings and poor early season snow have caused Qantas to cancel their direct flights into Queenstown for the month of June.

Despite most resorts due to open in the next couple of weeks, bookings had been too low for the airline to keep the service running. Mirroring recent years in the Northern Hemisphere, Australians have apparently been delaying their holidays until they can be sure they won't just be playing golf, bungy jumping or any of the many other activities available in the area.
