Sunstate Airlines
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sunstate Airlines is a subsidiary of Qantas which operates regional flights under the QantasLink banner throughout Queensland.
The airline was originally an independent company operating in Queensland. In the 1980's, it purchased Mildura based Murray Valley Airlines, gaining it's routes in Victoria, New South Wales and South Australia. The airline now had two unconnected networks.
Later in the 1980's it was purchased by Australian Airlines. It broke up the two networks into "Sunstate" and Southern Australia Airlines. In the early 1990's, Australian Airlines merged with Qantas, and the two ex-Sunstate groups took on lower capacity ex-Australian Airlines routes.
Later in the 90's, both became known to the public as QantasLink, though they retained a certain amount of independence.
