Will Ansett Survive?
The future of Ansett Australia, and to some extent its parent company 'Air New Zealand' has dominated news headlines in Australia recently, particularly in the last 48 hours. They are apparently losing up to $1.3 million a day. Even Qantas has rejected offers to buy out what has been its main source of competition for the past decade. Does anyone have any thoughts or comments as to the probability of Ansett surviving? I personally think it would be a shame to lose them, for the sole reason that they have so much history in this country, and that it would become an awful problem for the 15000 odd people they employ. Also, I am also wondering how Air New Zealand will be affected. How could something like this affect their operations? If anyone has any information about the situation, it would be greatly appreciated!
