The flag carrier of Australia, Qantas, has provided more detail on preparations for restarting its international flights, with plans linked to the vaccine rollout in Australia and key overseas markets. Australia is expected reach the critical threshold of 80% of the adult population fully vaccinated in December 2021 ("National Cabinet's Phase C"), triggering the gradual reopening of international borders. Qantas' key markets like the UK, North America and parts of Asia have also high and increasing levels of vaccination. This makes them highly likely to be classed as low risk countries for vaccinated travellers to visit and return from under reduced quarantine requirements, pending decisions by the Australian Government and entry policies of other countries. Flights to destinations that still have low vaccine rates and high levels of Covid-19 infection will now be pushed out from December 2021 until April 2022. This includes, among others, flights to OR Tambo International Airport (JNB) in Johannesburg, South Africa. We'll keep you posted!
