Qantas boss Alan Joyce has said the airline’s budget arm Jetstar could cut airfares on the Sydney to Melbourne route as low as $19 to stimulate passenger demand once COVID-19 travel restrictions ease."Project Sunrise" of flying non-stop to New York and London on hold in light of the pandemic bringing international travel demand to a halt.
There would be some pent-up demand from people who want to visit family when restrictions lift, Mr Joyce said, and Qantas would also look to stimulate demand with cheap airfares.“On Melbourne-Sydney you could see Jetstar have $39 airfares, you could see $19 airfares and we’ll still cover our cash costs on those flights," he said following an investor update.
pwhatch I’m not getting on Jetstar unless you pay me $19k a flight
pwhatch Finally a cheap flight ✈️!
pwhatch Lol - $19 plus all the extras. You'll probably be lucky to get away with anything under $150😏
pwhatch Yep let’s smash the work that has been done so far.
pwhatch Trying to apply pressure indirectly.
CroakeyNews pwhatch That would be great if I wanted to go to Sydney
pwhatch Airline companies should start investing in high speed electric trains powered from renewable energy? Governments could financially back them and the industries that would develop to deliver that mode of travel would save the economy - and it Fixes ClimateChange 🙃
pwhatch
pwhatch Or they may not ... BS
pwhatch If they can sell seats at that price and still make money why haven’t they been doing that all along? Desperate to drive Competition out of the skies and then drive their prices right up.
pwhatch Key word: Could
pwhatch Jetstar? ..or Deathstar?
pwhatch Could cut his salary to $19000pa at the same time
pwhatch what about regional routes?
pwhatch Yep it’s true. Come on boys and boys!
pwhatch Ill travel if they honour virgin australia travel credits.
pwhatch I wouldn’t fly Jetstar if it was free
pwhatch That's great. I look forward to it.
pwhatch Am I'm guessing there will be plenty of the add on fees by the time you get to the final payment.
pwhatch Unsustainable. They’d be taking a huge loss given all the covid safeguards they’d have to implement
pwhatch Why would you want to fly Jetstar?
pwhatch Yes plz! It’s like catching a train
pwhatch How about Hobart?
pwhatch Things might be a bit slow in the beginning but I thinks once all interstate restrictions are lifted, there'll be a rush to fly anywhere and with Virgin on the skids, Qantas might find itself flying A380s to Dubbo🙂
pwhatch Finally a row to myself
pwhatch Bullshit
pwhatch So people only live in Sydney and Melbourne?
pwhatch It's going to be like those discount airfares where you miss out because of those that can sit online all day to beat you at it.
pwhatch Do you get seat for that price or is that standing?
pwhatch Except we shouldn't be encouraging airline travel.
pwhatch Nothing to do with stimulating the economy more to do with stimulating the demise of any competition
pwhatch Plus 'movement and security'.
pwhatch Could also make them free, or make them $1000. “Could” means nothing.
pwhatch $19 airfare plus taxes plus fuel levy plus tack off levy plus landing levy plus Ansett levy plus luggage levy plus …
pwhatch Trust this Irish hobbit at your peril..
pwhatch 'Could'. Why not will? Though probably just as equally true. Jetstar Qantas AlanJoyce smh auspol
pwhatch Ever heard of global warming?
pwhatch $19 airfares with Jetstar? And exactly how much will that be after all the taxes and additional fees are included?
pwhatch Yeah! Right. Of course you will.
pwhatch Yep whatever happens we have to rush back to normal ASAP, climate change won’t happen by itself, everyone needs to burn their bit.
pwhatch I want to go to Darwin cheaper than a trip to HK or Singapore!!!
pwhatch $19 airfare - Sydney to Melbourne. It is much cheaper than the uber fare from my house to the airport...
pwhatch Makes sense, after all the government will still be paying the airlines wage bill because revenue down 50% due to COVID19. Making the most of JobKeeper is smart business
pwhatch It will be to force Virgin into a price war he knows they can't compete in. Wipe out the competition.
pwhatch
pwhatch I don't believe it. Given the post-Covid19 era will demand screening, testing, more space onboard between passengers, it will be air travel at a premium.
pwhatch one seat in the aircraft 19 dollars just like old times
