Qantas HY25 results

Frequency is generally better, until you start being slot restricted. SYD - MEL are not far behind HND - CTS and are comparable to HND - cough for passengers. Both those ports are serviced by widebodies by both NH and JL (heavy domestic Y config) during the bulk of the day. They typically run less services per hour, but more high density widebodies.

Even today, if we were running more 330 services instead of 737s and either SYD or MEL or ATC sneezes, there'd be a smaller impact across the whole as there's fewer movements so more pax per hour can land (even if its fewer planes).

Problem with that is the domestic terminals have limited gate availability for multiple widebody aircraft, why the A330s always use the same select gates at SYD/MEL (the 767s were easier to accommodate)

One of the reasons why they introduced Classic Plus Reward seats already appears to be paying dividends: "There have been early positive signs, with double the growth in points earn for members who have redeemed on Classic Plus". The media release also indicates that 13,000+ standard Classic rewards seats are being booked on average every day.

22 billion points have also been redeemed on Classic Plus Reward seats since going live in December, 20% of people who are redeeming these rewards have never redeemed a flight reward before.

No CR release this week to coincide with investor dat, I am starting to think they are a think of the past

Couple of other things I missed on first run through

Lounges
* New Adelaide Business Lounge and Chairman’s Lounge open from May-25
* Construction commencing on new Auckland and Sydney International Business Lounges in 2025
* Investment in Domestic Regional Lounges throughout 2025

Inlight Internet
* Qantas International Wi-Fi activation - South East Asia phasing from Mar-25, Tasman from mid 2025

Catering
* Enhanced Qantas International Economy food and beverage experience from Mar-25

I wonder will they bring back Qantas on Q-Eat - early booking for economy??

Also as noted on airliners.net this paragraph included in the press releases, but not in the presentation.

Looking forward, the remaining two A380s are expected to return to service later this calendar year.

So that will give quite a bit more international capacity.
We already know SYD-DFW is recommencing in Aug 2025, but possible more later in the year.

And on specific Sunrise timing.

The airline expects its first Project Sunrise A350-1000ULR to enter the final assembly stage in September 2025, which will be followed by flight testing ahead of its delivery in the second half of calendar year 2026.
