Aircraft to be based in Adelaide, creating hundreds of jobs
New routes, extra 1 million seats in and out of Adelaide
Adelaide will be the home of five Embraer E190 aircraft as Qantas continues to boost domestic flights in response to growing leisure and corporate travel demand.
The E190s are 94-seat jets with a five-hour range which are being deployed on Qantas’ network as part of a three-year deal with Alliance Airlines. The deal provides the national carrier with the capacity provided by up to 14 jet aircraft, depending on market conditions. Today’s announcement brings the number of aircraft activated as part of the agreement to eight.
