Our aircraft

As part of the Qantas Group’s Australian domestic fleet renewal program, we’ve ordered 29 new Airbus A220s,^#which are expected to open up new direct domestic and selected short haul international routes as more aircraft enter the fleet.

Modern, spacious cabins

Largest windows of any single aisle aircraft and a cabin with a greater sense of space.

Longer range

Almost double the range of the Boeing 717s they replaced, giving them the ability to fly non-stop between any two destinations in Australia.

Lower carbon emissions

Approximately 25% fewer CO₂ emissions per seat, up to 50% noise footprint reduction compared with previous generation aircraft, and around 40% less nitrogen oxide emissions than industry standards.

Naming our A220 fleet

Introducing Minyma Kutjara Tjukurpa

The first QantasLink A220 'Minyma Kutjara Tjukurpa' arrived in Australia in late 2023, showcasing the artwork of senior Pitjantjatjara artist, Maringka Baker. The special indigenous livery is the sixth edition in the longstanding Qantas Flying Art Series.

Minyma Kutjara Tjukurpa tells the Dreaming story of two sisters who traverse remote Australia together, covering vast distances to find their way home.

The fuselage design was created by Indigineous-owned design agency, Balarinji. Around 100 painters were involved in completing the livery, using 130 stencils and painting over 20,000 dots to replicate the intricate designs.
