Qantas, one of the oldest airlines in the world, flies some of the longest nonstop routes, alongside Virgin Australia and Jetstar.
6 airlines
Scheduled airlines with a hub and connecting flights – usually on short-, medium- and long-haul routes.
Qantas
QF / QFA
Australia’s flag carrier with the red kangaroo on the tail: oneworld founding member, A380 and 787-9 on long-haul, Perth–London nonstop and, with Project Sunrise announced from 2027, Sydney–London without a stop as well.
Virgin Australia
VA / VOZ
Australia’s second-largest airline group: launched in 2000 as the low-cost carrier Virgin Blue, today a middle path between budget and network carrier with an almost pure Boeing 737 fleet and Qatar Airways as a shareholder.
Cheap point-to-point flights, often with a single-type fleet, many bases and short turnaround times.
Short routes with turboprops and regional jets, often as feeders to the big hubs.
QantasLink
QF / QLK
Qantas’s regional brand connects Australia’s capital cities with mining towns, islands and provincial cities – flown by several companies with Dash 8s, A220s, Airbus jets and Fokker 100s.
Rex Regional Express
ZL / RXA
Australia’s big independent regional airline: Saab 340 turboprops into the outback, a short chapter with the Boeing 737-800 and a restart after the 2024 insolvency.
Companies that fly aircraft with crew for other airlines, tour operators or sports teams.
