In 2026, the Qantas fleet is in the midst of a massive multi-year transformation known as "Project Fysh." For international long-haul, the backbone is the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner and the iconic Airbus A380 (of which 10 remain in service for high-demand routes like London and LA). Most significantly, the first of the Airbus A350-1000ULR aircraft—the "Project Sunrise" planes designed for non-stop flights from Sydney to New York and London—have entered service. For domestic and regional routes, Qantas has almost entirely phased out the Boeing 717, replacing them with the highly efficient Airbus A220-300. The workhorse of the domestic fleet remains the Boeing 737-800, though these are being progressively replaced by the Airbus A321XLR, which offers more range and a superior Business Class cabin. QantasLink continues to operate a large fleet of Dash 8-Q400 turboprops for regional hops. In 2026, Qantas is notably one of the most "Airbus-heavy" airlines in the Southern Hemisphere following their 2023–2025 order ramp-up.
