Qantas operates flights between Bengaluru and Sydney (still operating), and Delhi and Melbourne, which were discontinued in June 2025, citing operational constraints. It seems those constraints are now over, because the airline is returning to the route with the same aircraft later this month.
Qantas to operate flights between Delhi and Melbourne effective October 27, 2025
Qantas will recommence non-stop flights between Delhi and Melbourne later this month. 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 flight reaffirms Qantas’ commitment to the market, recognising India as one of the fastest-growing and most strategically essential destinations in its international network. In addition to reinstating the Delhi-Melbourne service, Qantas continues to offer non-stop flights from Bengaluru to Sydney, as well as vast connections across the IndiGo and Qantas domestic networks.
Qantas A330 Business Class
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.
Mr Cam Wallace, CEO of Qantas International, said on this move:
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. 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.
Here is the flight schedule.
Bottomline
Qantas is bringing back its seasonal flight between Delhi and Melbourne, which will operate three times a week from October 27 to March 26, 2025. The airline will operate it with an Airbus A330-200 aircraft. The airline used to operate the flight through June 2025, and is now resuming operations as a seasonal flight.
