"We understand the difficulties being faced by a number of NSW and Victorian communities as a result of the devastating floods," a Qantas spokesperson said.

"We've put in place an immediate cap on the price of fares between Wagga and Brisbane, and Wagga and Sydney until at least Friday."

The airline has also offered the NSW, Victorian and Commonwealth governments support in moving urgent supplies and people to flood-affected areas.

The airfare cap comes as key highways and roads across the Riverina continue to close due to rising flood waters.

Nine regional routes have had their airfares temporarily capped by the airline due to the floods.
