Qantas has announced an upgrade to its regional brand, QantasLink, by introducing the larger De Havilland Canada Dash 8 Q400 aircraft at Adelaide Airport. This move is expected to enhance capacity in Southern Australia.
On February 17, Qantas stated that its regional South Australian network would see benefits from increased seating and improved reliability. The airline has started using the Dash 8 Q400 on all regional routes from Adelaide. The transition involves phasing out the older Dash 8 Q200s and Q300s in favor of three new Dash 8 Q400s.
"Qantas operates more than 50 return flights per week between Adelaide and the regional cities, providing essential connections for residents and tourists as well as business and resource travel. These flights are currently operated by smaller Q300 aircraft which have 50 seats. These older aircraft are being gradually retired from Qantas’ fleet."
