Average 109.4 plus whatever up front
65% plus business
61% MEL SYD
Add to this 15 return sectors so fleet utilisation is reasonably high
70% break even ?
Not far away
Even REX are saying early 2023 to break even....
I hope they have plenty more frames on order as both QF/JQ and VA struggle with on time performance and no guarantee you check in luggage arrives at your destination
As for slots at SYD, no worries there as QF/JQ and VA cut back flights as REX expands, there will be plenty available
The people are getting a taste of REX and are liking what they see and rebooking
well they better start paying their pilots above award because it's all good having airframes but it makes no difference if you can't crew them.
