One JetStar?

You mean the domestic version?.
Navitaire?Correct
It services the entire Qantas Group.
So Guess who pays the bills.Qantas not JetStar
Who built the JetStar Maintenance facility in Newcastle?
Qantas Group
Where did they get their LAMEs? and who trained them?
Any one like to Guess?
Who provides the SIM time?
Where are the CC trained?
JetStar pays for Zip.Its all down to the parent.
JetStar as a startup would have required hundreds of millions of dollars to commence operation.
The initial capital was stumped up by Qantas Airways LTD.
Access to gates and slots?..... courtesy of QAL.
Look at Japan.
There is a Q to obtain slots in NRT.JetStar goes straight to the front of the line.
Boy did that piss a few airlines off
Cost of fuel?Courtesy of QAL hedging
Brian Gray tried this on his own and failed.
When you have a big Bro' like QAL lets just say your future is guaranteed
Cost apportioning ...ever heard of it?.Its akin to money laundering
Jet Star is a protected species
