Air Australia!

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



How long will this one last...

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

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".

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.

Maybe they ARE being underwritten by Woolies

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

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
