Whatever emerges after June one thing is certain Virgin Australia and Jetstar will struggle to survive the next 12 months. When domestic operations start up there will be still some form of social distancing laws in place for aviation and to get customers confidence it will be in the form of blocking the middle row, this is why Virgin and Jetstar will struggle to survive. QF have a more loyal customer base and might get by, but JQ and VA are and will be low cost they will have to increase airfares to counter this by how much guess by at least 40-50%. The whole social media campaign “save Virgin keep fares low Australia needs two airline” well let’s see if they keep to that I very much doubt they will be able to.
