Jetstar confirms no plans to expand routes...

Propstars Q300 aircraft are surplus Queer and Nasty Airlines planes from the Land of Underarm Bowlers which they tried to sell but couldn't.

They must be approaching the end of their economic life. It will be an interesting question whether Propstar generates enough cash to justify Queer and Nasty Airlines upgrading their subsidiaries fleet.

Great that airlines are safer than ever

The intent of the technology is to make flying safer – and it has. In the past decade, the number of commercial flights worldwide has surged by almost a quarter to about 40.5 million last year. Despite the surge in flying, fatalities in accidents involving planes carrying more than 14 passengers have fallen from 773 in 2007 to 258 last year, according to the Aviation Safety Netwo

QAN running higher leverage and an older less fuel efficient fleet and have been enjoying the benefits of wage freezes negotiated for several years after their blockbuster $2.8 billion dollar loss a few years ago. This works fine while oil and interest rates stay low and those freezes remain in place but for how much longer ?

Air China scales back....AIR N.Z. expands...Jetstar confirms no plans to expand routes...last week Qatar threatened to throw their toys out of the cot if laptop's were banned.
Looks like management were bang on the money when they recently said we're passed the high tide of competition intensity and its impact on yield

If they can make over half a billion, (second highest ever) in the year in which intensity is at its most severe...

AirNZ will be impacted if the laptop ban from europe goes ahead...
