About QantasLink
QLK: QantasLink – Australia's Regional Connector
QLK is the ICAO code for QantasLink, the comprehensive regional airline brand of Australia's flag carrier, Qantas. Founded in 2001, QantasLink was established to consolidate and manage the extensive regional domestic operations of the Qantas Group. The airline functions as a vital link, connecting metropolitan and regional hubs across Australia, and integrating smaller towns and cities into the broader Qantas network. Its headquarters are located in Mascot, New South Wales, Australia, with its base city being Adelaide. QantasLink operates primarily from Qantas domestic terminals in major Australian cities, including Adelaide, Brisbane, Canberra, Darwin, Hobart, Melbourne, and Perth, with Sydney and Brisbane airports serving as significant operational hubs.
QantasLink maintains a diverse fleet suited for regional operations, comprising aircraft from its wholly-owned subsidiaries—National Jet Systems, Network Aviation, and Sunstate Airlines—along with Embraer E190s wet-leased from Alliance Airlines. The fleet includes Embraer E190s, Fokker 100s, Airbus A220-300s, Airbus A320s, and De Havilland Canada Dash 8 aircraft (Q100, Q200, Q300, and Q400 series). Notably, older Boeing 717s were retired in late 2024, while new Airbus A220-300s are being introduced into the fleet between late 2023 and 2027. The airline operates an extensive network of over 2,000 flights each week to between 65 and 69 metropolitan, regional, and remote destinations across Australia. In addition to its domestic services, QantasLink also provides short-haul international flights to destinations such as the Solomon Islands, New Caledonia, and East Timor. As an integral part of the Qantas Group, QantasLink is an affiliate member of the Oneworld airline alliance, offering passengers seamless connections and loyalty program benefits across the alliance's global network. The airline provides both Business and Economy cabin classes, with various configurations depending on the aircraft type. Services include complimentary meals or snacks and beverages on all flights, and web check-in options for passenger convenience.
