Qantas has raised Aus $500 million (£265 million) through a new bond offering, and will use the cash to boost liquidity, repay maturing debt and repair its balance sheet.

The aircraft resume operations on the route for the first time since the start of the pandemic

The Australian carrier is hopeful of restarting international flights shortly before Christmas, including to the UK, with Australia targeting 80% vaccination by then. The country is also gearing up to roll out its own digital vaccine certificate to facilitate a further reopening of its borders.
