Adelaide will be the home base of five Embraer E190 aircraft as Qantas continues to boost domestic flights in response to growing leisure and corporate travel demand.
The Embraer 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. Qantas owns a 20% stake in Alliance Airlines and the deal provides the national carrier with the capacity provided by up to 14 jet aircraft, depending on market conditions.
These aircrafts are the right fit to service capital cities with regional centres and South Australia regional market has plenty of growth opportunities.
