There is no Jetstar International. They would get most of the numbers from Tasman flying. The big percentage rises will stop soon as they are quoting from a low base.
I think the Mods should ban the posting of any article written by Steve Creedy. He's a lazy journo who doesn't do any investigation into the BS that he is given by company media spin experts. The result is articles that are totally misleading to the public.

Perhaps you are right . . . and maybe Steve Creedy does regurgitate the media spin?
I could not find the February 2010 “Preliminary Monthly Traffic and Capacity Statistics” on the Qantas web site. However the January 2010 statistics also tell an interesting story ( see http://www.qantas.com.au/infodetail/...anuary2010.pdf).
It appears Steve Creedy’s analysis was about right for January as well . . . although Jetstar domestic didn’t grow as fast as in February (as reported by Creedy).
Here’s another interesting ‘angle’ . . . in January 2010 non ‘mainline’ domestic (Qantaslink and Jetstar) carried some 75% of 'mainline' volumes - or about 45% for the domestic traffic for the group. This number seems to be increasing.

According to the Qantas link above, 'Jetstar International' carried two thirds of the volume of QF international in January (more if we can believe the February numbers reported by Creedy).
But you are right in that the percentage changes will decrease as volumes increase!
If history is to be our guide, perhaps a re-reading of Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey would be prudent – especially the bits in between these two.

lets look at those figures again.
a 100% increase in pax numbers for J*.
a 5.3% increase in load factor.
only way that could be achieved is if J* almost doubled capacity.
looks like they are using bernie madoff's accountant in upstate newyork?
