Qantas to recommence non-stop flights from Delhi to Melbourne

The carrier will operate three services per week starting October 27, 2025 through March 28, 2026.

Qantas, will recommence non-stop flights between Delhi and Melbourne later this month, just in time for Australia’s summer of cricket. The carrier will operate three services per week starting October 27, 2025 through March 28, 2026, returning to the route for the first time since June.

The schedule said to align with peak travel demand between India and Australia providing a non-stop option for Qantas customers travelling between the Indian and the Victorian capitals.

The flights will be operated by Qantas’ Airbus A330 200 aircraft, featuring 26 lie flat Business Class suites in a 1 2 1 layout and 204 Economy seats in a 2 4 2 configuration. Across the three weekly return services, this new connection will add more than 1,300 seats each week between Delhi and Melbourne, and over 30,000 seats across the peak travel period.

Cam Wallace, CEO Qantas International, shared, “We’re delighted to bring back our non-stop connection between Delhi and Melbourne, just in time for the busy travel season. Flying direct significantly reduces travel time to Australia, and these new flights are perfectly suited for Indian fans attending cricket events in Melbourne, including the T20 series in late-October, the Ashes and Big Bash League later in the year.” He further added, “To help support our growing presence in India, we have opened new offices in Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru to service our Indian customers, and promote our non-stop flights to Sydney and Melbourne.”
