For your awareness, please note Qantas has today announced a new investment in its DeHavilland Dash 8 turboprop fleet as part of its ongoing commitment to keeping regional Australia connected.
The announcement can be viewed here.
The national carrier will acquire 14 additional mid-life Dash 8-400 aircraft (Q400), with 19 smaller Q200 and Q300 turboprop aircraft to be gradually phased out of the fleet.
The first aircraft will join the QantasLink fleet by the end of the calendar year 2024.
Qantas recognises the critical role air services play for Lord Howe Island and is committed to working with the NSW Government to help support the Island.
