    Dec 16, 2019, 03:33 PM

    Qantas needs to go back to the pre- Emirates days and rebuild it's Singapore Hub which was so successful.The 3 787s Jetstar are planning on taking out of service could be used to start services quickly from Adelaide and Canberra to Singapore and onwards to Frankfurt and Paris. Passengers from oth...

  • Qantas not convinced on Airbus, Boeing revised Sunrise bids

    Dec 12, 2019, 12:15 PM

    One thing occurred to me. Qantas says Project Sunrise is about reducing the travel time between Eastern Australia and London and New York.Why then are they not asking the manufacturers for faster aircraft?Why are they not looking at super or hyper sonic aircraft?We had supersonic 50 years ago wi...

  • Qantas not convinced on Airbus, Boeing revised Sunrise bids

    Dec 10, 2019, 01:02 PM

    Project Sunrise is pure and simply about the prestige of being first to fly nonstop from Sydney and Melbourne to London and New York. Nothing else!!!Can just imagine Alan Joyce: Oh look Airbus and Boeing can't provide a plane capable of doing it at a price we can afford. Guess we would have to s...

Singapore was a great hub in 80s and 90s for Qantas with 767s flying from Australia then on to Bangkok, Hong Kong a...

  • One runway at Melbourne: why?

    Apr 06, 2019, 10:36 AM

    Used to work for ATC. Main factor is wind, not only at Tullamarine but wind at Esssendon as well as runways at both need to be paired for safe operations. Basically operates as one airport with 4 runways! North -Soth runway is much longer than east-west so is used by Internationals and bigger ...

  • Jetstar Boeing 787s being transferred to Qantas?

    Mar 22, 2019, 04:33 PM

    Unlikely they will operate out of Darwin as Qantas are in dispute with owners over their high charges. If Qantas are going to order A321LR better do it very quickly as Airlines will be flocking to Airbus for aircraft to replace cancelled 737max orders

  • Using Adelaide as an International transit point

    Mar 19, 2019, 02:06 PM

    How easy is it to transfer from domestic flight to International flight in Adelaide and vice versa?Was wondering if people have been using Adelaide as an International transit point rather than Sydney or Melbourne to avoid the delays at Immigration and Customs. Now that more airlines are using ...
