So I can't quite tell from the news release, does SYD-HND replace SYD-NRT or in addition to SYD-NRT?

Sydney to Haneda will replace Sydney to Narita.
Also according to The Qantas Source, we can expect an announcement soon of another Qantas flight from Australia to Tokyo 3 days per week. Hopefully it will be a resumption of the Perth to Tokyo service.

I think it would be Melbourne if anything. Mel-NRT is already 4 a week with JQ, so supplementing it with 3x week with QF you would get a daily service to Japan.

I agree. Similar to the QF/JQ combination to HNL ex SYD.

I agree that MEL is more likely, more of a case of wishful thinking here in Perth.

IIRC, wasn't the QF PER-NRT route subsidized by the WA government when it was running also? Happy to be corrected.
