I love the bit about "largest LCC "by revenue!
I would have thought that by profit would be a more sensible metric to brag about!
Obviously the propaganda machine at Jetstar Corporate has limits to how low they can go!
Sorry only a poor dumb retired pilot ,but using Jetstar's own propaganda I come up with the following-
23,000,000 pax /yr
4000 sectors/wk
208,000 sectors /yr
gives appx 110 pax /flight
Jetstars A320 seat 180 pax
which gives a load factor of appx 61%,
But it gets better if you throw into the mix A321, A322,A333's,
further diluting that rough load factor calculation.
I'd say ,being kind, that sub 60% load factor is all you could draw from Jetstar Corporates own data.
It truly is an Amazing Business model,
or am I missing something?????
