Q300Pity about Rotorua losing the jet services, but otherwise, not a major thing really. Will be good for the places Jetstar is serving - more flights, more airlines, more competition, lower fares, etc.
More flights, more airlines,lower fares, etc!
Cobblers!
Yes lower airfares better competition for awhile until the weakest succumb. Survival of the deepest pockets.
Same thing happened with deregulation in the States.
A flurry of new start ups, the incumbents slashed cost structures to match, a series of acquisitions and mergers, the weakest went to the wall and in the end you end up paying the same or more with less service to boot!
Gotta luv deregulation!
