I have just flown down from Sydney to Melbourne and read on page 14 from Kirsten Rowlingson that this edition June-19 is the last edition of this excellent magazine. Can anyone confirm this and if this is the case WHY?
Hi gflyer, please don't post the same comment more than once: if it doesn't appear straight away, it's because it needs to be manually approved. Posting more than once creates more work for the admin team in cleaning things up, rather than simply clicking 'approve' when we next review comments. :)
You're not the first person who's thought it's going... a few family members mentioned it last week.
Gflyer is correct. It's just a new publishing company and different editiors/writers... there will still be a July edition in seat back pockets next month.
Just my personal opinion ... but surely they could dump it completely and they wouldn't lose a single customer - saving them cost of producing the thing (content, layout, printing) and the fuel cost of carrying it on all the planes.

I think they'd be more concerned about losing advertisers, if you get my drift.

Correct, Inflight magazines are largely self-funding from the advertisers they attract. Regular travellers tend to be in A/B demographic so attractive to advertisers of higher end discretionary products.
