The Qantas-Skytrans codeshare service continues to progress, with several recent developments of note.

Qantas codeshare flights operated by Skytrans from February 2026 are now available for booking, including Classic Rewards seats.

Skytrans has reached an in-principle agreement with Sydney Airport to continue using Terminal 3 (T3) for check-in and departures. For now, there is no change to the current check-in arrangements. Eligible travellers will also continue to enjoy access to the Qantas Lounge.

The third Q200 aircraft, VH-TQS, has completed its scheduled maintenance and is now back in service. 

Further updates, including community FAQs, will be shared as they become available.
