For a start I am not based in WA these days, but am well connected to its political circles. Secondly the last sentence is all that matters in Australia.

As you would expect in such small aircraft, over the longest routes in the world.

Always got an answer to everything X, haven’t you. :rolleyes:

"Busiest" is measured in passenger numbers not flights, so aircraft size is immaterial. As to "the longest routes in the world" we're taking about SYD-MEL and SYD-BNE; of the top 20 they rank 16th and 17th for route length.

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.

That roughly 2-ish : 1 current liabilities to current assets ratio is nothing new for QF; it has bounced around 2 : 1 for the past five or six years. It does take on a different shade with the current cash flow issues.

Well that's not the definition OAG are using- they use number of flights.

No, OAG don't use flights; they use seats.

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

2 A380’s back by April for SYD/LAX

QF Starting bringing back SYD-DEL flights from 6th December with the A330

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

A quick look online suggests a direct SYD - LAX return from mid December ranges from $2500-3000 per person depending on the airline. Not unreasonable in the circumstances I would have thought.
