More moderate Oil prices may perhaps become a slightly unexpected fixture over the next couple of years. The higher fuel bills might not be as drastic as currently expected, even if the Aus Dollar shows a little further weakness.

Maybe some breathing space for those hoping to have the 747s serve those southern Polar(ish) routes just a little longer before the fleets inevitable retirement? Unlikely? Well, maybe some extra cash for a few additional 787s for some fleet/network growth instead of just replacements, here’s hoping.

It would certainly be another lucky break, especially after pouring so much Into Mangament bonuses and Share buybacks. Let’s hope if sustained lower Oil prices are the case, that it’s not an opportunity wasted...
