Looking forward to seeing you on the Tasman and flying domestic in NZ.
Just on that
Yes AB could fly to NZ, but that's about it for international
So why is it that a foreign company or airline can set up in Australia and fly domestic, but can not fly international?
It actually does not make any sense.....
It's well known that domestic operations is where QF makes most of it's money, yet someone like SQ could set up in Australia and compete with no issues
Yet
SQ can not fly, for example Sydney to Hong Kong non stop, however they can compete 1 stop
Same with the ME3 to Europe
So if AB wanted to have a crack at Asia as an ULCC, why should they not be able to
Would it not be better to have an Oz based and Oz crewed ULCC operating into Asia even though some profits end up overseas rather than leave it to foreign owned, based and crewed carriers?
