I am hearing this from people in the corporate world who are licking their lips at the chance to reduce such overheads on the other side of this pandemic.
As for JQ v QF for whatever corporate travel remains post Covid - well you just have to look at the shift that has occured over the last few years in Europe. Many businesses that once flew their employees business class now use Easyjet, Wizzair and even Ryanair to keep costs down. This pandemic will only accelerate the same shift here in Aus in my opinion.
Maybe, but maybe a lot of people now have a better understanding of the value in face to face communication and the limitations of said technology.
whether this returns us to pre-COVID levels of travel I don’t know.... but I have no doubt the corporate travel market will be alive and well post Covid.
