2020 $1 QANTAS Centenary PNC

Qantas formed 100 years ago, on 16 November 1920, as Queensland and Northern Territory Aerial Services Limited. Its founders, decorated World War I pilots Hudson Fysh and Paul McGinness, and businessman Fergus McMaster, had a vision of more effectively connecting Australian cities and towns with each other and the world. With a fleet of just two bi-planes, Qantas began taking people on joy flights. One of the oldest airlines in the world, Qantas has a long-held reputation as a world leader in safety.
