The QF/JQ split
An extract from the media release yesterday reference QF/AO and the dreamliners:
Qantas chief executive Geoff Dixon said the re-equipment contract would provide the maximum flexibility for Qantas, allowing it to allocate new planes between Qantas and the international and domestic operations of Jetstar.
"They (Jetstar) get the first 10 and there's then quite a few to go to Qantas, but our view on that is that we will allocate the aircraft between Qantas and Jetstar where we can get the most viable returns," Mr Dixon said. "What we're trying to make sure is that both Jetstar and Qantas Airlines have a viable future. This is an incredibly tough industry."
I dont believe the numbers given are set in stone.
ie high cost of fuel,
emirates paying no tax etc, etc and suddenly it is more viable (and easily justified) to put more of them into JQ Intl.
............. or am I just suspicious
