September 29th 2025
Qantas Airways has applied to Australia’s International Air Services Commission (IASC) for approval for Malaysia Airlines to codeshare on some flights between Australia and New Zealand. Read More » Qantas’s application sought to add Malaysia Airlines’ MH airline code to eight Australia-New Zealand routes - Sydney to Auckland, Christchurch, Queenstown and Wellington, Brisbane to Christchurch and Wellington and Melbourne to Auckland and Christchurch, from November 1. "Qantas, as the operating carrier, intends to provide Malaysia Airlines with access to available inventory on a free sale basis," Qantas said. This application to the IASC, which manages Australia’s traffic rights, represented an expansion of the pair’s codeshare agreement announcement earlier this month. On September 17, the two oneworld alliance members unveiled plans to codeshare on Australia-Malaysia routes, as well as select domestic routes within Australia and Malaysia, and on the Singapore-Kuala Lumpur route.
