Jetstar Expects Lower Costs as Demand Boosts Traffic (Update2) - BusinessWeek
“We can definitely continue to drive costs out of our business,” Jetstar Chief Executive Officer Bruce Buchanan, 37, said in an interview in Bloomberg’s Melbourne bureau yesterday. “
If you want to drive growth and a decline in real airfares you have to drive your costs down further or it becomes an unsustainable proposition.”

This bit had them laughing in the aisles!!!!
And great to see Deborah Hutton on the qantas monthly 'welcome aboard' video, last month, announce the fabulous news that the much valued jetstar passenger can use the qantas valet parking service now. Great news. I'm sure jetstar wont pay a cent towards the cost to qantas for the staff that run that part of the operation, but at least it wont add to Buchanan's headache of trying to keep his jetstar cost base down.
