QANTAS means Queensland And North Territory Ariel Services. As it is an acronym it has to be pronounced as QANTAS. Qantas Airways Limited was originally a regional service. But now it has more than 50 share in Australia. Now , English speaking people don't know about the origin of this acronym. They think that it is a name They prefer to pronounce it as Kwantas. Kwontus is the pronounciation in Australian dialect where as Kwantas is the standard pronounciation in English. So English speaking world will be speaking it differently as compared to Native Australian people. So all confusion is because English speakers are difficult to control their habitual pronounciation.

Probably because in English, there are almost 0 words that begin with a Q which isn't immediately followed by a U.
