QantasLink will upgrade the interiors of five Boeing 717 aircraft to include Business Class and in-flight entertainment for all passengers, says Executive Manager John Gissing.
“QantasLink will introduce a full Business experience on these aircraft, including market-leading seats, premium food and drinks and exceptional onboard service," Gissing said. "We will also be providing individual in-flight entertainment for all customers - both Business and Economy - and are currently testing the latest technology. The continued investment in our fleet shows the commitment and confidence that we have in the Australian domestic market and regional Australia."
QantasLink will progressively introduce the five aircraft into service from late 2013, after the interior improvements are completed.
"The first aircraft will be used on Sydney-Canberra, Brisbane-Canberra and Melbourne-Canberra, with the B717 aircraft size and configuration ideally suited to these routes," he said.
