Great News For Domestic

QANTAS will delay delivery of two Airbus A380s scheduled to arrive early next year until 2016/17 in major spending cuts, but announced plans to boost its domestic network.


The airline announced the move as part of a $400 million spending cut in the next financial year.

But it will increase its domestic network dramatically with plane upgrades and more flights on routes between Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.

It will also bring back Boeing 747s on its Sydney and Perth route, plus more Airbus A330s the Melbourne and Perth route.

That will increase the capacity on those east coast and west coast routes.

Qantas also announced a big increase in capacity in its domestic business, as it fights to maintain at least 65 per cent market share.

"Our goal in the domestic market remains simple and consistent - we intend to retain the market share that enables us to maximise profit," Mr Joyce said in a statement.

Qantas will step up competition against Virgin Australia by adding extra services during peak times on the busiest east coast business routes between Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.

More details about new routes and timing would be announced at a later date, Qantas said
