The name Qantas originally came from "Queensland and Northern Territory Aerial Services". This is because the airline operated out of western Queensland, and serviced the remote areas of the Northern Territory. In 1934, QANTAS Limited and Britain's Imperial Airways, forerunner of British Airways, formed a new company, Qantas Empire Airways Limited. However, the name Qantas has remained.
