QANTASLINK supports the National Breast Cancer Foundation
QantasLink and the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) hosted a Pink Link luncheon at the High Tide Waterfront Restaurant in Devonport.
Qantas Group General Manager Regional Airlines, Mr Narendra Kumar, said the Pink Link days were an important opportunity to spread the message of prevention and treatment of breast cancer to people in Devonport and other parts of regional Australia.
“Statistics show that awareness of breast cancer treatment and prevention options in regional Australia is significantly less than in city areas,” Mr Kumar said.
“Pink Link days are an important opportunity for regional communities to learn more about the work of the NBCF and how they can become involved for the good of their own community,” he said.
“We hope that today’s luncheon will increase awareness and also raise vital funds for breast cancer research.”
Mr Kumar said that QantasLink unveiled a pink Q400 Bombardier aircraft in early October, which would operate services on its regional network and also transport NBCF representatives throughout regional Australia.
He said that the aircraft would operate two charity flights on 10 November, departing Devonport Airport at 11:05am and 12:20pm.
CEO of the NBCF, Ms Sue Murray, said that the ultimate goal of the NBCF was to raise enough money to fund a cure for breast cancer.
“As a nation, we have all the ingredients to successfully push onwards towards the prevention and eventual cure for breast cancer,” she said.
“I am delighted that QantasLink has joined this challenge and is committed to helping our organisation carry this important message across regional Australia.”
Mr Kumar said that the aim of the partnership was to raise at least $500,000 for breast cancer research over the next 12 months.
QantasLink, Australia’s largest regional airline, currently operates 28 return services per week to Devonport.
QantasLink currently operates around 2,000 flights each week, serving 50 metropolitan and regional destinations throughout Australia.
NBCF is the leading Australian not-for-profit organisation promoting and supporting breast cancer in all its forms.
QantasLink is a Diamond Partner of the NBCF.
