Qantas has launched a new web service designed to take advantage of the iPhone's touchscreen functionality.
IPhone users can use the site to check flight schedules and fare prices.
According to Qantas representatives the airline has become the third in the world and the first in the southern hemisphere to launch such a service.
By the end of the year, Qantas intends to launch a similar site optimised for blackberries, and will steadily introduce new functions to these mobile-optimised sites.
Qantas intends to offer customers using the sites the ability to access seat selection, complete flight bookings and opt to be notified by SMS if a flight is delayed.
