This is a story about never giving up.

Jeremy Robertson first joined Qantas as a pilot in 2001. In 2010, after a chest infection, he developed type 1 diabetes.

As a consequence he lost his aviation medical clearance to fly. Not one to take this lying down, Jeremy became a doctor of medicine with a focus on aviation.

He was eventually able to get a clearance to fly small aircraft, but not with paying passengers on board. For years, he maintained records of his blood sugar levels whilst flying.

In 2016, he submitted these records to the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA), along with data that the UK and Canadian aviation regulators had on allowing aviators with type 1 diabetes to fly. After three years of review, CASA changed their policies and Jeremy finally regained his full medical clearance to fly in 2020.

Because of his efforts, several other pilots in Australia with type 1 diabetes have been able to continue their careers (the first of which joined Jeremy on the last two flights of his final check, to show his support).

Earlier this year Jeremy completed his re-training as a Boeing 737 First Officer - some 14 years later.

Congratulations, Jeremy!

This November marks the 80th anniversary of the loss of Pilot Officer Ross McMaster, the son of Qantas co-founder Sir Fergus McMaster. Growing up in western Queensland during Qantas' early days, Ross was inspired by the spirit of aviation that surrounded him. He joined the Royal Australian Air Force in 1942 where he trained to fly in Tiger Moth biplanes at Narrandera before joining 460 Squadron RAAF in Britain in late 1944.

On November 21, 1944, just weeks after joining, Ross embarked on an operation to attack Aschaffenburg. Tragically, at just 20 years old, his Lancaster was shot down, resulting in the loss of all seven crew members.

Today, on Remembrance Day, we honour Ross and all those who served to protect our nation. We will remember them. Lest we forget.

Qantas customers to remain connected to Lord Howe Island 🏝️

QantasLink and Skytrans are finalising a codeshare agreement that will commence when Skytrans begin operating flights between Sydney and Lord Howe Island.

QantasLink continues to hold the regulated route licence until March 2025, and from then, there will be a transition period which will include the delivery of our three Q200 aircraft to Skytrans to enable the airline to begin operating the route and ensure ongoing connectivity to the island.

The 36-seat Q200 aircraft is the only aircraft in our fleet that is able to operate to Lord Howe Island because of the island’s runway length and is being phased out as part of a major investment in the turboprop fleet to better service regional Australia.

Locals and tourists will continue to be able to book flights on qantas.com, with frequent flyers earning Status Credits and Qantas Points.

Farewell to the Boeing 717 ❤️

Yesterday the final commercial 717 flight for QantasLink operated as QF1511 from Sydney to Canberra, flown on 'Great Otway National Park' (VH-YQS). The aircraft has completed more than 15,000 flights, close to 17,000 flight hours and has safely carried more than one million customers over the past 11 years.

The 717 has been flying in Australia for over 20 years, and are now gradually being replaced by next-generation Airbus A220 aircraft.

Backing the next generation of aviation talent ✈️

Safety and training have been part of Qantas’ DNA since our first flight back in 1922, and we are investing more than $40 million across a range of new initiatives to train the next generation of Australian aviation talent and accelerate skills across the airline and broader industry. Some of these include:

▪️ New Qantas Group Safety Academy set to launch in 2025
▪️ $40 million investment in cabin safety training assets and new facilities across Australia
▪️ Doubling the number of Pilot Academy scholarships in 2025

When it comes to helping out Australians in need, Qantas Captain Owen Weaver is always ready to lend a hand.

"It's such a humbling and rewarding experience to help out Australians and passengers that are escaping many difficulties to return to their families, and that was no different with our recent flights in and out of Larnaca in Cyprus," Owen said.

"I have been involved in working in ground roles during COVID assisting repatriation flights, as well as special memories operating services from Wuhan and Tel Aviv.

"Qantas is uniquely placed with expertise in rapid organisational response to stage repatriation flights around the world. Working with our talented and passionate teams is an amazing experience and a career highlight.

"Being a Qantas Captain has provided me many memorable moments as all of our staff are so passionate about what they do. I have formed some special relationships amongst our many operational and support teams that come together to make these flights happen.

"It's a special group to be a part of."

The trial for the new Australian Digital Travel Declaration (ATD) has kicked off via the Qantas app 📱

Qantas customers travelling from New Zealand have become the first to experience the fast-tracked arrival process, as part of a joint initiative with the Australian Government.

Qantas is the first to pilot the ATD, which is a digital replacement for the current paper Incoming Passenger Card.

The ATD is now available for eligible passengers travelling from Auckland to Brisbane (initially on flight QF126). The program will be expanded to include customers travelling from other New Zealand cities to Brisbane in the coming days ahead of additional Australian destinations joining the program early next year.
