Double Bay Today is a satirical news service, like The Betoota Advocate or The Onion.

I assumed that is the case. The article reads like something out of the Betoota Advocate.

Not, and never was, the target market

Haha it was inevitable that someone wouldn't realise it was satire

I guess that's a sign of good satire - it's ridiculous, but just believable enough to catch a few people out

Sorry guys, we've all been there!

Anyone’s guess if they will start ops this year. Obviously both major airline groups looking down the barrel of what is going to be a cash burning Q1 FY27. They might use Q2 to keep a lid on capacity and try and pull back earnings via higher fares, IF fuel has subsided by later this year.

Jetstar has a stalled EBA at the moment so not sure if they will open a crew base off the bat.

I think what’s likely is flights being operated by other crew bases in/out initially. Only need Swissport etc on the ground initially.

SQ are already selling. Anecdotally they seem to be struggling selling economy seats (to/from Australia) but charging handsomely up the front of the bus due to lack of confidence around 3 of its main competitors, which might cover some of the hefty fuel bill. My bet is that they will start as planned.
