Qantas Airlines is set to retire the Boeing 717 aircraft operated by QantasLink by the end of this month.
The phase-out is in line with the gradual introduction of the Airbus A220-300 aircraft. Four of these aircraft are already in operation, and a fifth is set to be introduced in November.
In May 2022, as part of ‘Project Winton’, it was announced that 40 aircraft, consisting of both Airbus A220-300 and Airbus A321XLR, would be introduced to replace the Boeing 737 and Boeing 717 models.
The replacement on the Melbourne-Hobart route has already been completed, and by late October, the aircraft are also scheduled to be introduced on the Sydney-Launceston route.
