Qantas Airways Limited (ISIN AU000000QAN2) has a market capitalization of AUD 13.2 billion on ASX as of October 8, 2026. Aviation Week reported on October 5, 2026, that Qantas and Jetstar are seeking approval for three new Indonesia routes after an expanded Australia Indonesia bilateral agreement.

Three Indonesia routes are pending

The proposed expansion gives Qantas another route growth option while the airline manages fuel costs, aircraft investment and international capacity. The route plan is a company-specific operating development rather than a new financial forecast.

Qantas lists a final dividend payment date of October 14, 2026, and an annual general meeting on November 6, 2026. The final dividend is AUD 0.198 per share for the six months ended June 30, 2026.

FY26 growth met weaker profit

FY26 revenue reached AUD 25.5 billion, up 7.1 percent from FY25, while net income declined 20 percent to AUD 1.29 billion, according to Simply Wall St. Earnings per share fell to AUD 0.85 from AUD 1.05 in the same annual comparison.

Veye reported that underlying FY26 profit before tax fell by AUD 330 million to AUD 2.06 billion, with the Middle East conflict reducing pretax profit by AUD 420 million and fuel costs rising by AUD 610 million.

Consensus remains above the quote

According to Stock Analysis on October 6, 2026, the consensus rating is Buy across 17 analysts, with an average price target of AUD 11.53. The target is a consensus figure, not an individual broker forecast.

The contrast is clear: revenue expanded in FY26, but earnings and earnings per share moved lower. For investors, the Indonesia route application and the October dividend payment sit alongside a business still exposed to fuel costs and international operating conditions.
