QantasLink (QLK) plans to introduce its first in-house E190 into commercial service from January 2027, subject to regulatory approval. VH-E9A (msn 19000250), operated by Qantas Group subsidiary Network Aviation, arrived at Perth International on September 7, 2026. It was ferried to Perth from Norwich International via Sofia, Dushanbe, Kolkata, Johor Bahru, and Broome. The 100-seat aircraft will undergo cabin refurbishment before service entry. QantasLink has secured an initial three out of fourteen E190s to replace Network Aviation's ten remaining F100s.
