There are perfectly rational explanations for that report RD. The reporters (typically!) haven’t looked into it deeply enough and should have contacted QF first:

From QF ‘In the News’
1. Fuel efficiency on Pacific flights – Media are reporting on our ranking in a new study of airline fuel efficiency and carbon emissions when flying across the Pacific. We rank low in this study because we use larger aircraft, fly very long distances and have premium cabins that naturally have fewer people on board. We’re committed to reducing carbon emissions and are continually looking at ways to lower them across our operations. The introduction of our more fuel efficient Dreamliners and our FlightPulse app for pilots are a couple of recent examples.
You would hope that the people writing that knew they were writing to, and for, airline professionals and would therefore assume they might be across basic airline fundamentals, but clearly not!

You can’t make this up! Flight Pulse might be the heart of the great ‘turnaround’? Forget 777’s 20 years ago. It’s Flightpulse! No one here has thought of that....
