Amazing what a bit of real competition does..
AFTER deserting the Gold Coast five years ago, Qantas will today announce it is returning.
Qantas heavyweights including CEO Alan Joyce will fly to the Gold Coast for the announcement this afternoon.
They will be joined by Premier Campbell Newman and Tourism Minister Jann Stuckey.
It is understood Qantas revised its Gold Coast strategy after a spate of complaints following its decision to withdraw.
The decision comes after Virgin Australia recently committed to increasing its Gold Coast services, including the establishment of a business branch.

It's Strambie, now given the reins to run QF Domestic as its own enterprise.
The board knows Strambie will walk into another international carrier job unless he runs domestic the way he wants to.

Probably one of the smartest ideas they have had for a while. Pity it took a whole lot of wasted money, pi$$ed off passengers, job losses to see the light. And the cost of fixing the mistake??? When are these buffoons going to be held accountable??

Well they better get their act together, JQ run a good system out of OOL. No plastic bread rolls (half frozen) and stale carrot cake, thanks QF if you want to succeed. We all have memories of yesterdays bread and tomorrows fruit on those runs.

'after a spate of complaints' ???????
5 years of complaints? It takes QF THAT LONG to respond to customer feedback?
I remember when they pulled the pin on OOL. There was newspaper articles pointing out the dissatisfaction of the decision. Didn't stop them though.
No wonder the joint is buggered.

Remember Gold Coast Bulletin headlines "We're no Hicksville"
I guess if you complain long and hard enough (with a little help from DJ)..............

"Our pax told us that they wanted a full service airline flying to OOL– and we have listened"
What a bunch of transparent bullcrap from the geniuses running this basket case of an airline.
You were told the moment you pulled out. You ignored it until virgin had taken all your premium pax, and when you couldn't keep your orange colored heads stuck in the Golden sands any longer . You tout this as an initiative and expect us to cheer you on ?
You didn't listen to complaints or reason or logic or plain common sense, you only made this revolutionary decision when even blind Freddy could see it was a huge mistake to pull out.
Yes it's great we are flying back but spare us the rubbish. It's qf playing its normal game of reactive management , probably all too late as usual.
Buffoons.
