QF need further flying and hopefully profits urgently to stem the current losses and a negative return on equity (-335%). Debt to equity ratio is now 1323.6% and with negative cash flow debt is not well covered. Short term assets of $3.4B do not cover the short term liabilities of $7.6B. Ouch.

NSW is going to 7 days isolation for close contacts who are fully vaxxed, but that still means many crew are likely to be sent to isolation from being a close contact from an infected crew member. Even domestically, the crew from the virgin positive crew member case are all being classed as close contacts. I can foresee a huge number of crew being required to isolate from being a close contact, both international and domestic, as we open up more.

Methodology
The busiest air routes are defined as those with the largest volume of scheduled airline seats in the current calendar month.

It takes about a second of reasoning to conclude that using flights would provide utterly meaningless comparative data.

What’s happening with flight prices for this international restart. $7500 return for two people too LA in December and January are really going to hinder the want to get out and travel
