Qantas Airways, Australia's #1 airline, flies to about 60 destinations at home and another 85-plus (including some served by code-sharing partners) in about 35 countries. (Code-sharing enables carriers to sell tickets on one another's flights and thus extend their networks.) Its airline operations include regional carrier QantasLink, as well as low-fare carrier Jetstar, both of which operate in Australia and elsewhere in the Asia/Pacific region. Overall, the Qantas fleet includes about 230 aircraft. Qantas is part of the Oneworld global airline alliance, which is led by British Airways (BA) and American Airlines. In late 2008 Qantas and BA began merger talks, but an agreement could not be reached.
