Based on what data and evidence?
Top global rankings. Huge Frequency. That is tied to the corporate traveller. Remove that traffic. We are now not tied to any rankings. We don’t have high speed trains. We don’t have decent interstate highways, unlike both USA and Europe. The majority of the business traffic wants international feed, lounges, loyalty programs, frequency, 100+ aircraft fleets, did I mention international feed?. That’s Qantas and Virgin. By all means Rex and Bonza
could play for some of that, they will need a billon dollars to attempt that.
Bonza, Tiger and Rex have all said the exact same thing. We need 30 aircraft. Why? Because they need the scale to get the earnings otherwise it’s just a waste of time.
You know the Rex model is wrong, when they are empty during the week but full on weekends. Either they become a low cost carrier, or they try and do full service properly. They really need new management to tackle that, not some half arsed job like they are trying at the moment.
