That is because some other Government is paying the bills. Unlike Qantas they don’t have to make a profit! And yes unlike most countries Australia does not limit capacity into our Airports. US, Canada, France and Germany have severe limitations on foreign carriers dumping capacity into their country.

Have you seen how many qantas crew have been infected by this terrible virus? Would you send your son,daughter,wife,husband,relative into one of these flight ? Let Qatar Airways deal with their consequences for now, their staff sadly may have no choice, aussies still do!

Oh grow up, Qatar is a government QANGO funded and bailed out regardless of profit by its rich state owners and not a commercial business nor one that has to particularly consider its staff v.v. potential infection as I posit there are no WHS laws in the dictatorship it originated from. It can also stop in Doha which Qantas and Virgin cannot, Qantas is still operating sone UK flights and Virgin doesn’t Most countries where Qantas has traffic rights (SIN for example) have banned any flight with non Singapore nationals hence qantas had to operate a reduced load to fly via Darwin.

Branson is always around when things are good to spout insincere crap he makes up on the spot, but never when things are bad. The only way to get him here now would be to tell him there’s a product launch with attractive women.
He owns barely 10% of VA and 51% of VS and he is refusing to pay VS (Virgin Atlantic) staff even though he makes more than their entire wage bill in interest every year and he’s been turned on viscously by the British public and in Parliament in the UK as a result.
He’s a BS artist only around for the good times.

There is no such thing as the ‘Queen of England’. England has not been a sovereign State for 300 years. She is the Queen of the United Kingdom and it’s no longer called the Royal Mail in Australia.
