Overview
- Network Aviation will equip all 28 A320 and A319 jets with onboard Wi‑Fi, with A320s also receiving new seats featuring USB‑A and USB‑C power plus device holders.
- The first refurbished Airbus is slated to enter service later this year, with the full cabin and connectivity program targeted for completion in early 2027.
- QantasLink has secured three mid‑life Embraer E190s as initial Fokker 100 replacements, with first deliveries expected by the end of 2026 and up to 14 E190s planned in total.
- Fokker 100s will retire gradually as additional A320s transferred from Jetstar Asia and incoming E190s enter service, with no full phase‑out schedule disclosed.
- The investment is framed to boost reliability, fuel efficiency and passenger comfort across regional Western Australia while aligning with the Qantas Group’s wider renewal that includes more than 200 firm aircraft orders.
