Is there any chance RED Q was just an announcement to distract attention from job cuts?
Does anyone believe that a 49% Qantas owned airline based in KUL/SIN/HKG (and offering "premium service") can compete against the established home players?
I guess it's possible, but there is something NQR about the strategy. Can someone explain where this gap in the market exists?
The only possible gap I see is flying to the multitude of regional cities in India and China. But let's say that is the case, will premium passengers really fly 5 hours KUL-DEL or SIN-NKG on an A320? Surely they'd prefer the existing A330 or B777 options on SQ/MH/TG/CX/IT/CA etc?
I can see Jetstar Japan getting up, and I can see JetStar and JetStar Asia expanding......but RedQ seems a stretch.
Well, I guess they'll have to use those 110 A320s on something.
