Qantas Airways Ltd. is restoring international flights faster than planned to handle the stunning rebound in travel.

Seats on international flights are about 90% filled, and daily services between Sydney and London via Singapore on Airbus SE’s A380 superjumbo are fully booked across all classes for the next few weeks, Stephanie Tully, Qantas’s chief customer officer, said in an interview Monday. Tully was in Singapore for the reopening of the airline’s first-class lounge at Changi Airport’s Terminal 1, which was closed in March 2020 as the pandemic crippled global aviation.
