Cut-price airline will boost jobs
November 26, 2003
Qantas will base its new cut-price airline in Melbourne, Victorian Premier Steve Bracks said today.
Mr Bracks said the airline would create 1,000 direct and 3,000 indirect jobs and would be based at Melbourne Airport's former Ansett terminal.
He said the government had fought off competition from other states to secure the airline's headquarters in Melbourne.
Bracksy's done a Beattie!!!!! How much did QF get for basing Skimpy in MEL??? I bet Stoddart can't wait to get here, especially with our back stabbing state governments willing to cut each others throat!!! Pitiful really.
