Qantas started the NZ domestic flights as a feeder service for its international operations so why would they convert it to a LCC operation which obviously could not act as a feeder
That makes things a bit more interesting. What then is the motivation for stating that QF are considering putting J* on NZ domestic. It has to be tactical because the NZ domestic scene can only just handle three operators (some even dispute that), four would see someone crumble. Air NZ won't go, QF could keep both J* and Jconnect running for a long long time. How long would PB last? Six months? A year? They fall over or retreat back to pacific island routes and then J* is pulled if not making any money?
But even this I don't think so because of the RTOW's used ex ZQN.
If they go Auckland out of Qtown why wouldn't they be able to go to RO? I'm not being faceeshu....faseeshi....smart. Just curious
