QantasLink secures first three Embraer E190s and funds multi‑million cabin upgrades for Western Australia

QantasLink has secured an initial three Embraer E190s — part of a deal for up to 14 to replace Fokker 100s — and is investing a multi‑million dollar programme to refit its regional Airbus A319/A320 fleet with new seats, Wi‑Fi and on‑device entertainment for Western Australia services.

Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • Fleet renewal: QantasLink has taken three E190s (initial tranche of up to 14) to replace ageing Fokker 100s on Western Australia routes, shifting regional capacity to newer Embraer narrowbodies.

  • Passenger product and competitiveness: a multi‑million dollar retrofit of the Airbus A319/A320 regional fleet adds Wi‑Fi, new seats and on‑device entertainment, improving service on intra‑state routes and aligning regional product with mainline offerings; this follows a recent change in QantasLink oversight (source:88ec71c4-7917-462a-9ec8-a3cd9fcbb9e0) and mirrors wider Embraer regional-jet activity (source:98ed551c-3259-409c-b607-966e47573a7a).
