QantasLink announced a significant boost to services throughout Queensland.

QantasLink will launch Boeing 717 services to Rockhampton and Gladstone on 15 March and Mackay on 26
March 2012 following the addition of the B717 aircraft into its fleet.

QantasLink was recently voted the world’s best regional airline by prestigious aviation journal Air Transport
World.

QantasLink Executive Manager Narendra Kumar said he was very pleased to announce that QantasLink
would be jetting off to three booming Queensland destinations.

“The introduction of QantasLink’s two new B717 aircraft in Queensland will deliver an increase of over 200,000
seats per year in Queensland,” Mr Kumar said.

“QantasLink’s new 115-seat B717 services will offer customers faster flight times and more seats at peak
times by complementing existing aircraft on these routes.”

By mid year, the QantasLink B717 services will result in:

• 1,674 additional seats per week to Gladstone which will see QantasLink provide more than 9,100
seats per week on the route.
• 806 additional seats on QantasLink services increasing seats offered by the Qantas Group
between Brisbane and Mackay to 13,884 per week (operated by both Jetstar and QantasLink).
• 598 additional seats to Rockhampton, offering over 8,400 seats per week.

QantasLink has also today announced it will introduce new Q300 and Q400 aircraft services across several
key Queensland destinations including:

- Increased flights to Emerald from 76 to 84 flights per week resulting in an additional 592 seats.
- Roma will have an additional two flights per week which will offer QantasLink customers 244 extra
seats.
- Four extra flights will operate to Bundaberg creating 200 more seats.
