A report in CBD in The Sydney Morning Herald today says that Jetstar’s boss Alan Joyce is all for protecting his beloved airline’s unique image as an Australian-owned company.
And good on him. Unlike that non-Australian animal Tiger Airways, according to Al, Jetstar is a true low-fare Ocker airline.
“Tiger is a Singapore Government entity.” “They don’t really have a commercial bone in their body,” the Irishman proclaimed on Friday.
However, the naturalised Australian was a little coy about his other business interest in Singapore, the money-losing Jetstar Asia.
The Jetstar Asia director forgot to mention he shares a board with Temasek
appointees (also known as Singapore Government stooges) – one of them being the airline’s chief cheese, Chong Phit Lian.
Nor did he recall that the Singapore Government has a 19 per cent stake in Jetstar Asia. Yes, really.
