Also comparing your Saab operational performance against Virgin’s A320/F100 operation is just plain weird.
Plenty more key dangling to come as we now enter the golden quarter. Then the dangling stops. Then it starts up again.
Rex Tops Reliability Whilst Rivals Bomb
Monday, August 21, 2023
Rex Airlines has again been confirmed as Australia’s most reliable airline for the month of July, leading the table by a wide margin, according to the official publication by the Bureau of Infrastructure and Transport Research Economics (BITRE).
Typical Rex
PR clap trap. The cancellation rate totally ignores passenger impact - there's a marked difference between having your flight cancelled and being moved onto a different flight departing 30 - 60 minutes later versus having your flight cancelled when there's on average 2.5 hours between flights on the best serviced route.
In any event, ask any CEO, COO or CFO which they would prefer; 74.5 percent on time and losing money, or 71.5 percent on time and making money.
With results out next week, the old "unaudited management accounts" forecasts of milk and honey can't be far off now.
