Multiple outlets report that Qantas is increasing flight capacity for the AFL grand final weekend and formally backing the “Flagmantle” initiative. Coverage is presented as live news updates from different cities, but they describe the same core development: Qantas adds more flights to accommodate travel demand around the event. The reports also say Qantas’ support is linked to Flagmantle, an initiative associated with the AFL grand final and the promotion of Western Australia as the host location.
While the sources do not provide extensive route-by-route detail in the shared text excerpts, they consistently frame the announcement as part of Qantas’ broader effort to meet peak travel demand in the lead-up to the grand final. The live coverage format indicates ongoing updates, but the consistent, cross-source points are that Qantas increases flights for that weekend and publicly supports Flagmantle.
