The Qantas Group has today launched a special sale to encourage Australians to visit North Queensland to support tourism operators and local communities impacted by ex-Tropical Cyclone Jasper.

Qantas Chief Customer Officer Catriona Larritt said: “Tropical North Queensland communities and businesses have faced incredibly challenging circumstances during this holiday period.
“These special airfares will help boost the region’s recovery and rally Australians to visit North Queensland in the coming weeks and months.
