Connectivity in regional Queensland will be available through Malaysia Airlines' oneworld partner Qantas. The service was acquired through the partnership between Brisbane Airport Corporation, Tourism Events Queensland and Tourism Australia, with the support of the Queensland Government's attracting aviation investment fund. The service is expected to deliver AUD98 million (USD76.7 million) into the Queensland economy over the next three years.
