QantasLink’s Western Australian subsidiary, Network Aviation, has announced a major cabin refurbishment program for its Airbus A320 and A319 fleet. The upgrades include onboard Wi-Fi, all-new seats with USB A/C charging ports, and portable device holders, aiming to enhance passenger comfort and connectivity.
- Cabin Refurbishment
Network Aviation will refit 28 A320 and A319 aircraft with modern seating and technology. The first refurbished aircraft is expected to enter service later in 2026, with the full program completing in early 2027. - Fleet Expansion and Modernization
Alongside the A320s, the airline will acquire up to 14 Embraer E190 jets, offering improved fuel efficiency, reliability, and comfort for passengers. - Retirement of F100 Aircraft
The F100 jets, a backbone of Network Aviation for over three decades, are being gradually retired as the A320s arrive from the now-defunct Jetstar Asia and the E190s join the fleet. - Commitment to Regional Connectivity
QantasLink CEO Mark Dal Pra stated, “This multi-million-dollar investment reinforces our long-term commitment to serving the critical resources sector in Western Australia and connecting regional communities across the state.”
The upgrades mark a significant step in modernizing Network Aviation’s fleet and improving passenger experience on domestic routes in Western Australia.
