AFTA fires back at Jetstar
AFTA CEO Mike Hatton has fired a broadside at Jetstar over its plans to sell tickets through Australia Post outlets.
In a letter to members, Hatton has raised the issue of licencing and the TCF stating – “If the Australia Post proposal is to proceed then every Australia Post Corporate office and Post Shop must be licensed as a travel agency and be a member of the TCF.”
He also questioned where this proposal would lead in the future -“Whilst at this time the application is limited to domestic Jetstar ticket sales, who is to say that any future application will not extend to international ticket sales given Jetstar’s announced intention to commence international operations,” Hatton said.
Reaction from members has been swift and to the point. For a sample of the prevailing mood, go to the “your comments” section on this website, and feel free to contribute your thoughts.
