Looks like a complete takeover can't be ruled out after all. Overseas division is losing $30m a year anyway...just jettison it and take on Qantas locally.
Rebrand it Singapore domestic and with their great reputation the kangaroo airline would have plenty to worry about.
They will have lost that ''connection'' in OZ you were referring to earlier--although Singapore air would still keep it in the Star alliance so that would be best case scenario.
Meanwhile......does that count?????....Nah ,one morning under $3 doesnt qualify,but just goes to show (refer earlier post)
Having a local *A domestic carrier in Australia would provide some further advantages for passenger, but the existing code-sharing agreement works well and provides most of the major benefits anyway IMO.
On that particular survey Garuda Indonesian, Qantas, and Virgin Australia were ahead of Air NZ...... go figure.
I have not flown with Qantas or Oz Virgin since 2010/11 so would not be fair to comment but I have flown enough flights with the modern Garuda Indonesia to confirm that they are excellent.
