Qantas Cuts Capacity in Response to Oil Prices
Sorry only version of press release I could find.

This big news out of that is:
- Accelerating retirement of the 743 to December - not surprising - Retiring one 737 (734 I believe) - Grounding two 767 and one JQ 320 (wonder which two they will ground) - Cancelling delivering of an A321. Some big decisions made given the price of fuel |
JQ axe ADL-MCY, BNE-HBA and SYD-PPP as well as reduce AVV/ADL/CNS flying
QF axe MEL-AYQ and SYD-OOL and reduce SYD-AYQ |
wow, i must say i wasnt expecting anything as serious as grounding to 767's and canning an a321 order, ground a320...surprising.
not so surprising is the exit from sydney-ool, but it makes it that much harder for pax travelling via syd to ool from per...re check ins make me angry:mad: edit: i bet virgin is grinning from ear to ear...e-jets are ready to shine in a BIG way. edit2: could we perhaps see some different routing arrangements for aircraft (744) going to europe? perhaps terminating at SIN, getting some a333's pronto? perhaps qf axe lax-jfk route? rethink its syd-scl route? |

Any bets JQ will drop some Japan routes with the announcements next week?
perhaps free up a 332 to replace QF on MNL/HNL totally or some NRT services from say PER? Axing of SYD-CHC (mostly LCC's at CHC these days?) |

i wonder how service loads to singapore are going? 3 daily with singapore, soon to be 2 with tg, 2 x daily qf with a 3rd via denpasar/jakarta some days. although i guess its used for passage to europe mostly. perhaps we see a 744 going 1 x daily on this route in the future? although the a333's are on pretty weird rotations i think (from singapore and hkong) |
DJ would be feeling the exact pain as the QF group.
The E-Jets are no more economical than a 737 or A320, if infact I would have thought worse. also on the Tiger front I read somewhere with a big boss saying ' Tiger Australia is traveling reasonably well ' which isn't that convincing... Seems that the Oil price issue is hurting Aussie Airlines badly. :(:( |
Oil is hurting everyone around the world, that is what you pay with china and India consuming more.
