Currently what we see is the new normal as idiot Australia think they can eradicate this.
During the capacity war, something like 80% of QF domestic profit was from WA mining flights. I suspect at the moment it would pretty much the same with mining flights going towards offsetting the losses from COVID lockdowns.
What will be interesting is what happens with QF international. Almost totally existing by IFAM and Repatriation flights. What will happen if the government pulls support for these? Hundreds more stood down for 12-18mths?
