If it wasn't for her work there wouldn't be a current profit making VA as much as everyone bashes her.Hopefully Jayne takes ‘Wonderful’ out in her handbag when she takes the one way walk off the plank

Not ‘nice to see me’ in Melbourne however
I mean I can see how someone might get confused, Alaska, acquisition and Virgin would definitely fit together in one article. But the article would have to be a few years old now and well VA, that’s an abbreviation for Virign America, right?Seems someone just googled “airline acquisitions“ and completely ignored the context.
I mean 19/06/24 is hardly a few days ago yet alone a few years ago.But the article would have to be a few years old now and well VA, that’s an abbreviation for Virign America, right?
June 24, 2019?I mean 19/06/24 is hardly a few days ago yet alone a few years ago.
I really think the same could be said of QR. Buying a stake in Virgin won’t really achieve anything except any potential plan to launch widebody ops. By the time that happens, which would be a multi year project, they likely might have been granted an increase in rights regardless.which makes sense for SQ or QR. But AS/HA? The latter has a single flight to SYD. Why?
I hear what you are saying, but depending on the price, Bain and the buyer can come with all sorts of imaginative ways to finance maybe includind some performances bonuses/hurdles.But again, it’s a multi billion dollar investment. Hard to see.
I disagree. SQ is not struggling to compete for traffic in the AUS-EU market. In fact it’s a very strong competitor in this market and is able to command a significant premium.SQ could do it and tear up the QR deal, thereby forcing pax on to SQ metal. There’s a tangible benefit for the outlay.
I think you meant EK instead of EY. EY is the smallest of the ME3 (and is a minor largely unilateral partner of VA in the wider scheme of things).It doesn’t need to buy VA to funnel traffic onto its own metal. For the high yielding corporate accounts most companies will be directly contracted with SQ/QF/EY/QR, won’t be via VA.
EK and EY. EY is usually willing to offer the biggest discount going to EU for smaller spend target. EK of course is one of the strongest in this market, but of course usually the priciest but offer the most flights/destinations.EK instead of EY

Rex won’t be doing anything soon, cash available is nearly out, looking at what they have been burning, and what is available according to the latest results, they won’t get through the next FY. Not sure what is next for Rex, but a long term competitor to Virgin is unlikely.And Rex is slowly slowly ratcheting up the pressure on VA2, literally one plane at a time, which is keeping VA2 prices honest on some key routes so they can’t really take much more margin.
