I called the whole sequence of events in over 12 months ago and sadly have been totally correct. The last boot to fall is SQ steppinginto the Aus domestic market gaining assets at a bargain basement price.

The Asian giant is patient and has waited well, redirected the stink of the collapse ont NZ as is now ready to open a new carrier up to fight the might of the rat.

They have been furiously subsidising connecting flights out of regional Australia since AN fell over so expect to see KD,YC,PO and YT as feeders within the short term.

Best news is many more seats for our mates and many more cabins for our FA buddies to prowl.

Best all
