Qantas boosts Europe flights to Rome and Paris as Middle East war disrupts travel

Qantas will increase Perth-Rome flights to daily and boost Sydney-Paris services to five times weekly via Singapore, starting mid-April. The airline is reallocating Boeing 787s from U.S. routes and Airbus A330s from domestic flights to support the changes. Gulf hub disruptions have pushed more travelers onto these routes.

  • CAR vs SOL Shares: Value Comparison for 2026
    May 22, 2026, 10:39 PM EDT. CAR Group Limited (ASX:CAR) shares have declined nearly 20% since early 2025, despite strong revenue growth averaging 37% annually since 2021 and a 2024 net profit of AUD 250 million. The company operates vehicle marketplaces globally, including Australia and the US. In contrast, Washington H Soul Pattinson (ASX:SOL) shares are near a 52-week high, reflecting its status as a diversified investment holding with low debt (8.5% debt-to-equity) and a consistent dividend history dating back to 1903. SOL reported a 5.6% return on equity (ROE) in FY24, with an average dividend yield of 2.4% over recent years. Investors seeking growth might favour CAR's expanding profits and market presence, while income-focused investors could prefer SOL's stable dividends and lower risk profile.
