New domestic entrant?

[codash1099]

As a possible side effect of DJ moving up-market, Air Asia are having a look at entering the domestic market.

Might be an idea to wait until the ATSB finish their numerous investigations for repeated approach failures at OOL, an AOC may not be forthcoming in the interim.

 

[Must...Fly!]

I don't think the Australian market can legitimately sustain 3 cut-price carriers going at it.

If they come in, you would have thought DJ would have to get some serious business traffic on board before hand, because a new LCC does not bode well for them.

Neither QF, but at least they do have the business traffic.

I agree. I cannot see them being given an AOC unless they change things a lot.

 

[yohy?!]

Then we'd just need Ryanair to get all the 'best' LCCs in the one market:!:
