Speaking to Airfinance Global this month, Nick Swenson, chief executive at the US-based aviation firm, said Air T will focus on stabilising the ship and does not plan to drastically overhaul the regional carrier’s business model following the approval by creditors of its $170 million takeover bid.
Qantas noted that its on-time departure rate was 4.4 per cent higher than Virgin’s in a month with the end of school holidays and the NRL grand final, and said it was 1.4 per cent better than in October last year, meaning around 28,000 more customers departed on time.
Virgin Australia will ban use and charging of power banks on board from 1 December, with Qantas and Jetstar to follow as of 15 December. The airlines had initiated a review of their power bank policies following a fire on board a Virgin flight in July.
The state government will hold 22 public consultation sessions in coming weeks, as well as speak to councils, industry stakeholders, and local MPs, to ensure “a broad range of perspectives” inform the process of preparing for the next aviation services contracts.
The new class will be operating on Emirates’ daily flights, EK420/421 between Perth and Dubai, making the service a now four-class cabin in a way the airline says will enhance the flying experience for travellers.
Speaking exclusively to Australian Aviation, Malaysia Aviation Group's chief commercial officer, airline business, Dersenish Aresandiran, said the carrier wants to improve the cabin experience for Australian passengers travelling to and from Kuala Lumpur.
