About QantasLink
QantasLink is the group's regional airline brand. The Qantas accounts place it inside the Qantas Domestic segment and describe it as primarily serving metropolitan and regional transport destinations — the routes too thin for the mainline jets. It operates the Airbus A220s the group has been introducing, which were among the first fleets to carry the new Qantas Economy Plus cabin with extra legroom and priority boarding.
