All the claims the JQ cant be cheaper...why not??
1/ Newer more efficient aircraft
2/ More seats...even lower seat costs
3/ Less overheads than QF...efficiencies with Oz operation.
Then there is the very unreliable operation Jetconnect run in NZ, the A320 will be a much better seller in the market...all makes sense to me...will prob drive some away from NZ where Jetconnect cant.
As for feeders to INT? Why cant JQ do it? The process is the same for all airlines surely?
I would be surprised to see both operating, given QF and JQ generally dont compete in Oz even..
