MAY THE AIRPORT AND AIRLINE WAR CONTINUE.....
Firstly, this;
“Australia’s peak body for airports says the new Qantas-Air New Zealand codeshare deal will lessen competition and has the potential to constrain the trans-Tasman market”
I stopped flying QF internationally 5 years ago. Two-bit low budget shit service in every aspect. Does this mean I will potentially buy an ANZ ticket but get stuck on Joyce’s crappy Rainbow Airways all the way to the USA? If so, I will pay the extra and fly a longer route with Singapore Airlines.
And seriously, what about this absolute load of shit;
“Airport take-off and landing charges have risen 26 percent in real terms over the last decade to as much as A$18.30 ($13.81) per passenger, according to a report the Australian competition regulator released in April.
A4ANZ says ticket prices have fallen by 40 percent during the same period, shifting profits from airlines to airport operators and making it difficult to cut fares further’”
Again, take Moranbah for example. When VA pulled out/got booted out, whatever way you want to put it, Qantas doubled its fares. Some flights are almost $2,000 return to Brisbane. What an absolute gouging to the deepest degree. And that occurred overnight! 50% increase over a couple of weeks, compared to a supposed 26% airport fees and charges rise over 10 years (and if the figure of 26% over 10 years is correct, that’s less than CPI you morons).
The ACCC, A4ANZ, Graeme Samuels, they are all spin doctors, bullshit artists not basing their theories on accurate and comparative data. Go do something really worthwhile you dickheads like grilling the electricity suppliers, oil companies and rip off mafia Banks. What a sham, the Royal Commission into banking, although semi-rigged, has unearthed a plethora of shit that the spineless and useless ACCC should have done a decade ago. Fools......
“Safe aviation fisticuffs for all”
