This is great news for the Australian/Asian tourism industry which I am part of. They start recruiting from June/July and I can see some very desperate ex-ANSETT staff going hammer and nail for the limited positions!

Regards, Glenn.

I flew them a couple of years back. But only on short sectors, from Singapore to Kota Kinabalu (Malaysian Borneo) and then back again.

I was very impressed, no difference really between the QF product. If anything, the meals we got on Australian were better than those on QF. One of our flights was even in a QF liveried aircraft, so legroom etc is all the same.

They are an ancillary of Qantas mainly serving the leisure market. They use Qantas 767’s and crew, and the cockpit and cabin crew wear leisure uniforms reflecting the airlines holiday feel

I think I am right in saying that their pilots dont wear hats or ties. They dont even wear white shirts. They look like they work in Burger King. Im pretty sure its Australian who dont have a good uniform anyway!

They are owned by Qantas, but with Jetstar going long haul, there is a posibility they may close down in a few years time
