QANTAS’ REGIONAL OPERATIONS have been flying under one brand name – QantasLink – since May 2001.
QantasLink operates more than 2,700 flights each week to 55 destinations within Australia. QantasLink provides
important transport services for regional Australia and connections to Qantas domestic and international
networks. QantasLink employs approximately 1,600 people and has:
•operational bases in Hobart, Cairns and Mildura;
•a Dash 8 line maintenance facility in Mildura;
•a Boeing 717 heavy maintenance facility in Newcastle; and
•a Dash 8 heavy maintenance facility and administration centre in Tamworth.
Following the collapse of Ansett, QantasLink operated hundreds of additional services to regional Australia and
provided and arranged for services to 22 regional destinations previously served only by Ansett and its subsidiaries.
QantasLink has grown significantly since September 2001. In January 2002, five Dash 8-300 aircraft were added
to the QantasLink fleet, boosting services and creating more than 90 jobs. Three months later, six Boeing 717
aircraft were added, resulting in more non-stop services and creating more than 150 jobs for pilots, flight
attendants, engineers and operational staff.
