About

QantasLink is an Australian carrier and the regional subsidiary brand of the national airline of Australia, Qantas. The airline flies to several destinations across the country, offering domestic flights to more than 50 destinations across Australia's six states. As well as internal flights within Australia, the airline has also flown a weekly service to Singapore in the past, although, this has been suspended since the coronavirus pandemic outbreak.

QantasLink is not technically an airline, instead, it's a brand that a number of airlines operate flights under. QantasLink is currently made up of four individual airlines that all fly under the QantasLink name and adhere to the standards of the and procedural operations of the brand. These airlines are Network Aviation, National Jet Systems, Eastern Australia Airlines and Sunstate Airlines.

The brand was officially founded in 2002 and initially flew using Australian Airlines liveries after it was acquired by Qantas and the livery of Qantas itself. Eventually, the brand adopted its own livery, which it was it flies its planes with today. The brand was established in order to serve the niche routes within Australia that Qantas itself doesn't focus on due to its international flight offering. Although it's currently made up of four airlines, several other airlines have operated under the QantasLink brand over time.

QantasLink is one of the top choices for flying around Australia. It has bases in city's in each of Australia's six states, so is perfect for flying long distances across the country or flying shorter distances within certain states. It has more Australian destinations within its route network than any other airline in the country. Plus, it has the same great reputation as Qantas.

At Alternative Airlines, you can book flights on any QantasLink flight and pay in AUD.
