Air Austral

Air Austral announced today it will withdraw flights operating Reunion – Sydney – Noumea and Reunion – Bangkok as of March next year and focus on flights between Reunion Island and France.

The Reunion-based airline reviewed its long haul operations and came to the decision to cease operations on these routes due to difficult economic climate and rising jet fuel prices.

The last flight will depart Sydney on 20 March 2012, with travel agents unable to see schedules in the GDS beyond this date.  The final Bangkok service will depart on 26 March.
