From 3 November 2025, QantasLink is launching direct flights from Perth twice a week, replacing Virgin on the regular route to the Indian Ocean Islands.
This is the first time QantasLink will fly to our part of the world, where visitors can experience our pristine beaches, turquoise lagoons and relaxed island way of life.
Flights will run on Mondays and Fridays, perfect for long weekends, week-long breaks, or extended stays. Bookings open from 18 August 2025.
The change in flight day will impact existing accommodation and car hire bookings commencing or ending on a Tuesday after 30 October. We will be contacting affected travellers who have booked through the Cocos (Keeling) Islands’ Visitor Centre or website in the coming weeks.
If you have any queries about your booking through the Cocos (Keeling) Islands’ Visitor Centre or website, please contact us at [email protected]. If you booked directly with a local operator or travel agent, please contact them to update your reservation.
Flights will still depart from Terminal 1 (International Terminal) at Perth Airport. For flight enquiries, please contact Qantas directly.
While we’re excited about this new chapter, we’d also like to acknowledge the role Virgin Australia has played in connecting our islands over many years. Their professional service helped keep our community and visitors connected through some challenging times, and we thank them sincerely.
We look forward to beginning this new chapter with Qantas and to sharing our islands with more travellers in the years ahead.
