Fresh photo, hot off the press. The new Strategic branding, which is having its launch tomorrow.

How long will this one last...

AFP: Budget 'Air Australia' to fly after Qantas chaos

Wizofoz · 2nd Nov 2011, 10:51

Wish them the best of luck, BUT......

Do we REALLY need ANOTHER LCC??

New paint scheme?

I liked the old one...

Slippery_Pete · 2nd Nov 2011, 11:17

But Lasiorhinus, the most important question... does the Airbus have the signature matress down the back?

Xcel · 3rd Nov 2011, 01:57

Hahaha and the curtains slightly opened!

TBM-Legend · 3rd Nov 2011, 02:14

....and they do their heavy maintenance overseas! Can't be Australian.....

bankrunner · 3rd Nov 2011, 03:43

Makes me think of Air America. Doubt the flying would be as interesting though

Crikey! Launching a "new" airline when one of the biggest price wars between airlines is about to start. Gutsy move.

Interesting....

The start-up again came under the spotlight this week after the release of accounts showing its losses widened from $2.1m in 2008-09 to

$9.3m last financial year and that it was cashflow positive only because of a $6m loan from the charter business.

The accounts, which also identified an $11.4m net asset deficiency, were accompanied by an auditor's warning of "material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern".

I wonder if Chuckie did a deal on the name rights?

There only hope is a buyout by somebody with more money

Artificial Horizon · 3rd Nov 2011, 07:50

Not gutsy, stupid. Why take a moderately well performing charter business and saddle that with a tiny 'low cost' start up in a market that is already saturated with airlines that have very very deep pockets.

New scheme keeps reminding me of the Woolworths logo.... Must buy spuds.

At least it is not red.

jas24zzk · 3rd Nov 2011, 09:04

Maybe they ARE being underwritten by Woolies

you'll be buying new cars at the same time as your bag of spuds next.

Strategic need to be start australian charter. Pay a certain amount and get everything included. European style. might be a hit.

The only reason that could wildly be possible is for the AOC and for Virgin to start a low cost carrier now that Virgin is moving up market

But I really think SRB has enough on his plate with VS
