And Qantas only needs to get that small percentage of people to pay a premium, and they will be successful.
Meantime there are probably 20+ other airlines offering a one-stop to UK and most of Europe.
From the ME to Asia inc China, and even LCCs like AirAsiaX.
Correct.. but it's a narrow config either way. Not good for those with big shoulders
(Hence why almost all legacy carriers and LCCs have the same config.. whereas on the 330 it's only the LCCs like Cebu and AAX that run 3-3-3)
This thread on airliners.net is probably the best tracker.

As above repaints are often on a 10-15 yo basis, as you can see in the 737 fleet where the middle ones mostly have SilverRoo livery.
Wouldn't surprise me if the oldest 332s...
Big difference in catering between ScootPlus and StarClass (I mean Business Class on Jetstar).
And then AirAsia has the better seat product (flat, not fully flat).
On Scoot also worth considering the Scoot In Silence cabin which is just behind Plus, no kids and extra legroom.
The whole point of PE is to invest a fund (which is generally supplied by institutional investors) and make a return.
Yes they will generally use a lot of debt to minimise equity in and maximise returns.
But in VAs case - a loss making airline that had just gone into administration, that also...
It's interesting to announce this before they've done all of that.
Would have thought it would be better if they at least had some agreements from some airports etc.
(Presumably with a $ payment to the airport for extra cleaning fees etc)
