Dubbed “Whale Shark”, QantasLink’s newest Airbus A220 jet has taken to the skies over Canberra.

It’s the seventh of this type of jet to roll into the fleet.

The pictured aircraft is registered VH-X4G on a flight from Canberra to Melbourne.

The plane will predominantly service flights to and from Canberra, but will also be called in to fly other parts of the country.
