Qantas Airbus A380

From its small beginnings in outback Queensland with three staff and two open-cabin biplanes, Qantas has expanded to become Australia’s largest airline, now based in Sydney with a fleet of more than 130 aircraft. Qantas, along with its subsidiary Jetstar, moved about 51 million passengers in 2015–16, operating more than 5000 flights a week to both domestic and international destinations.
