Those dollars incidentally leave the shores of Australia for good to help prop up airlines that are state run and financed.
The likes of the ME3 and Singapore will become sidelined by the the A350-1000 and the 787 for Australians wanting to travel internationally to Europe in particular and they know it and are trying to hold onto market share no matter what. Unlike Qantas none of the airlines I’ve mentioned could survive in an open market without significant government backing.
What the f*ck is wrong with apathetic Australians whom can’t see these pariahs for what they are. Opportunists that distort the aviation market with government cash whilst Qantas staff languish on jobkeeper. What a joke. Liberal party hang your head in shame.
Troo believer: your clear bias towards anything non-QF blinds you to the fact, it’s not about QF!!
This is about the thousands of Australians stuck all over the world unable to get a ticket because of government policy. If the policy was good enough and they were capable of running effective quarantine with sufficient numbers, you would get your wish and QF international would be back in the air.
Qantas can’t save everyone. The best options are through the major hub carriers connecting from ports all over world. Having QF fly to these hubs and bring people back on the final leg, is about the only thing that makes sense involving QF.
Otherwise, get off your high horse and acknowledge the fact Australians just want to get home. They don’t care how it’s done, just get it done!
