SYDNEY — Southern Star, Australia's premier luxury carrier and a proud member of the prestigious World Stars Alliance, is thrilled to announce a monumental leap in commercial aviation with the arrival of our first Breguet 763 Provence.
Affectionately known as the "Deux-Ponts," this magnificent aircraft is the world's first full-body, double-decker airliner. Southern Star is proud to be the exclusive operator of this revolutionary aircraft in Australia, ushering in a new era of capacity, comfort, and technological marvel for the Australian domestic travelling public.

A New Dimension of Flight
The Breguet Provence is unlike any aircraft ever seen in southern skies. Its unique, bulbous fuselage houses two full-length decks, offering a level of spaciousness that traditional single-deck aircraft simply cannot match. For our passengers, this means:
Unrivaled Space & Comfort: With a passenger capacity exceeding 100, the Provence eliminates the cramped cabins of the past. Passengers can now enjoy wider aisles and more generous legroom across both levels.

A Smoother Journey: Powered by four dependable Pratt & Whitney engines, the Provence provides a stable, quiet, and reliable platform for long-distance travel across the vast Australian continent.

A Future Without Borders
As a member of the World Stars Alliance, Southern Star's acquisition of the Provence signifies our soaring ambition. While our current focus remains on perfecting the premium travel experience within our golden shores, we look forward with great anticipation to the day when Southern Star wings connect directly to the vast global network of the World Stars Alliance flight paths.

"The arrival of the Provence isn't just an addition to our fleet; it is a promise to the Australian people," says the Southern Star Board of Directors. "By bringing the world's first double-decker to our shores, we are ensuring that Australia remains at the absolute forefront of aviation innovation as we prepare for a global future."

The Breguet 763 Provence will enter regular service this month. Passengers are invited to experience "The Southern Cross" in the sky—where the future of flight has finally arrived.
