Australia has moved its official estimate as to when its international borders will reopen from later this year to 2022.

Treasurer Josh Frydenberg confirmed the news on Sunday, which will likely force Qantas to push back its plan to restart long-haul flights on 31 October.

The flag carrier’s chief executive, Alan Joyce, said last month the airline would move its plans if the previous date, announced in last year’s budget, slipped.

Frydenberg was speaking ahead of his budget address on Tuesday, which will unveil a new 2022 open date used to guide Treasury planning for the next 12 months.
