After decades of 'sameness', Australians are at last seeing new technology aircraft, like the Airbus A220, on their domestic and regional routes.
December 15, 2023, marked a pivotal day in Australian aviation when flag carrier Qantas took delivery of its first Airbus A220. The A220 is set to revolutionize regional travel in Australia as it systematically replaces the loyal but old Boeing 717s that have been the workhorses of regional and rural travel for decades.
