QantasLink chief executive Mark Dal Pra said aviation was an important part of “keeping this country connected”. “We’re incredibly proud of the role we’ve played over the past quarter of a century and to celebrate the milestone
we’re putting every destination on sale,” he said. “From Weipa in the far north, to Launceston in Tasmania and Exmouth in the west, there are great value fares available, giving customers the chance to see friends and family or explore more of our amazing back yard.” QantasLink operates about 500 flights a day to more than 60 destinations across the country and overseas. Mr Dal Pra said the regional airline was investing in dozens of new aircraft alongside cabin and regional lounge upgrades. In addition
