Australian Aviation can reveal the business quietly registered its second Boeing narrowbody, VH-UIK, on Friday. The news suggests the airline could start commercial operations soon.
New analysis from aviation analytics firm Cirium showed its numbers tumbled by 14 per cent on 2020 despite North America’s going up by 75 per cent.
The airline’s deputy chairman, John Sharp, said it would also allow the airline to meet the increasing demand for its services given the “shocking reliability of both Qantas and Virgin”.
The move means the Victorian airport will now boast 420 return services to Asian cities each week, and help nudge it towards 60 per cent of pre-COVID international travellers.
Turner said this year will only be one of “gradual recovery” as his business announced a $287.2 million loss for the 12 months to 30 June. Full-year revenue, however, more than doubled to $1 billion.
It comes days after it was revealed domestic aviation in July suffered another record month for poor performance, with Qantas alone seeing just 45.3 per cent of flights depart on time.
