Australian Airlines doubts continue
Speculation continues to mount that Qantas will discard its leisure carrier, Australia Airlines and run with Jetsar International instead. Media reports in Friday’s press claim the three brand model is under serious review.
Consulting firm Centre for Asia Pacific Aviation’s executive chairman Peter Harbison on Friday said Qantas would be better off without Australian Airlines, the worst-performing of its six brands.
“It is very hard to see why Qantas would continue with both models,” Mr Harbison said.
“The Jetstar model seems to be a lower cost version of something very similar to Australian Airlines.
“There certainly doesn’t seem to be a lot of logic in having Jetstar International operating on similar-type routes.”
A Qantas spokeswoman said the company would not comment on speculation.
Australian Airline lost $11.6 million in 2004/05, down from a $1.1 million profit in the previous year.
