  • Qantas' Future As a Strong National Carrier Supporting Jobs in Australia
    Coalition Senators' Dissenting Report 1.1 As a nation we are increasingly reliant on efficient, inexpensive and convenient aviation services. This is hardly surprising when you consider that our population is spread over such a vast land mass. 1.2 Aviation is a dynamic industry that has faced many challenges over the past decades since the introduction of the QSA in 1992. In Australia the market is highly competitive and presently capacity is saturated which has resulted in lower yields and affected the profitability of our carriers. 1.3 From a passenger’s perspective, the competitive tension between Qantas and Virgin Australia has resulted in a high quality product being delivered at a lower price with increased destinations and often with more convenient schedules. 1.4 Both Virgin Australia and Qantas are clearly excellent Australian airlines which contribute significantly to the economy, regional communities and tourism and have both shown a willingness to assist Australians in times of crisis. 1.5 Airlines also operate in an environment of increasing higher fuel costs, a relatively high Australian dollar compared to previous decades and significant capital expenditure requirements in an effort to operate the most modern and fuel efficient aircraft fleets. 1.6 Additionally, the carbon tax has added significantly to the costs of operating Australian domestic airlines. In the 2013-14 financial year the carbon tax drove up operating expenses at Qantas by $106 million and $48 million at Virgin Australia. It also cost Regional Express (Rex) $2.4 million. 1.7 The cumulative effect of all of these factors has led to an environment where both Australia’s major domestic carriers have announced first half losses; Qantas of $252 million and Virgin Australia of $84 million.

  • Airline and Aircraft Movement Growth “Airports...Are a Vital Part of Ensuring That Our Nation Is Able to Be Connected to the Rest of the World...”
    CHAPTER 5 AIRLINE AND AIRCRAFT MOVEMENT GROWTH “AIRPORTS...ARE A VITAL PART OF ENSURING THAT OUR NATION IS ABLE TO BE CONNECTED TO THE REST OF THE WORLD...” THE HON WARREN TRUSS, DEPUTY PRIME MINISTER 5 Airline and aircraft movement growth The volume of passenger and aircraft movements at Canberra Airport has declined since 2009/2010. In 2013/2014 Canberra Airport will handle approximately 2.833 million passengers across approximately 60,000 aircraft movements, its lowest recorded passenger volume since 2007/2008. The prospects for a future return to growth however are strong. Canberra Airport expects a restoration of volume growth in 2015/2016 and retains confidence in the future of the aviation market in Canberra, across Australia, and particularly the Asia Pacific region. Over the next 20 years passenger numbers at Canberra Airport are projected to reach 9 million passengers per annum with some 153,000 aircraft movements in 2033/2034. Canberra Airport, with its extensive infrastructure upgrades in recent years, is well positioned to meet forecast demand with only minor additional infrastructure and capitalise on growth opportunities in the regional, domestic and international aviation markets. 5.1 OVERVIEW Globally, the aviation industry has experienced enormous change over the past 15 years including deregulation of the airline sector, operational and structural changes in the post-September 11 2001 environment, oil price shocks, the collapse of airlines as a result of the global financial crisis (GFC), and the rise of new global players in the Middle East at the expense of international carriers from traditional markets. Likewise, Australia has seen enormous change in its aviation sector – the demise of Ansett, the emergence of Virgin Australia, Jetstar, and Tiger Airways, the subsequent repositioning of two out of three of these new entrant airlines and, particularly in the Canberra context, the collapse of regional airlines.

  • The Coalition's Policy for Aviation
    The Coalition’s Policy for Aviation August 2013 The Coalition’s Policy for Aviation Key Points The Coalition will strengthen our aviation industry and allow it to be more competitive. We will ensure our aviation sector is safe, reliable, efficient, competitive and proud to be Australian. To support the growth of our aviation industry, the Coalition will: abolish the carbon tax and its insidious impact on aviation fuels and aviation businesses; establish a formal Aviation Industry Consultative Council to meet regularly with the Minister; establish a high level external review of aviation safety and regulation in Australia; ensure that the Australian Transport Safety Bureau is adequately resourced; reform the structure of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority; focus on the better utilisation of Australian airspace; support regional aviation by introducing a new and better targeted En Route Rebate Scheme; recognise the importance of Australian airports to the economy; revitalise the General Aviation Action Agenda; continue to promote aviation liberalisation; enhance aviation skills, training and development; and ensure that aviation security measures are risk based. The Coalition will ensure Australia has a safer and more competitive aviation sector. The Coalition’s Policy for Aviation Introduction Aviation is a vital part of the Australian economy. A competitive and innovative aviation sector provides jobs for thousands of Australians and has substantial economic flow-on effects for the wider economy. A responsible Commonwealth Government supports investment, innovation and competition in the aviation sector. Instead, Labor’s approach to aviation policy over the past six years has seen cost after cost added to the bottom lines of airlines and airports, pilots and passengers.

  • INSTITUTE of TRANSPORT and LOGISTICS STUDIES WORKING
    WORKING PAPER ITLS-WP-16-21 Duopoly Competition between Airline Groups with Dual-brand Services - The case of the Australian domestic market By Yahua Zhang1, Breno Sampaio2 and Xiaowen Fu3 1 School of Commerce, University of Southern Queensland 2 Department of Economics, Universidade Federal de Pernambuco, Brazil 3 Institute of Transport and Logistics Studies (ITLS), The University of Sydney Business School, Sydney, Australia November 2016 ISSN 1832-570X INSTITUTE of TRANSPORT and LOGISTICS STUDIES The Australian Key Centre in Transport and Logistics Management The University of Sydney Established under the Australian Research Council’s Key Centre Program. NUMBER: Working Paper ITLS-WP-16-21 Duopoly Competition between Airline Groups with Dual- TITLE: brand Services - The case of the Australian domestic market The Australian aviation industry achieved substantial growth ABSTRACT: after the abolition of the “two-airline-policy” in 1990. With Virgin’s purchase of Tiger Airways, a new duopoly between two airlines groups, each consisting of a full service airline (FSA) and a low cost carrier (LCC), emerged in the domestic market. In this study, we analyze the pricing dynamics among the four airlines of the duopoly groups, using panel data of online fares on the four most travelled routes in the domestic market. Our empirical results suggest that market segmentation allows the FSAs to charge significantly higher prices than the LCCs. Still, there is clear evidence of competition within and across the market segments, and the airlines’ pricing responses are asymmetric. Virgin’s price responses to Qantas and Jetstar are moderate. In comparison, more than one third of Qantas’s fare changes and less than half of Jetstar’s fare charges are in response to Virgin’s fare adjustments in the previous period.

  • The Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association of Australia (AOPA) Represents the Bulk of Aircraft Owners and Pilots in Australia
    Introduction The Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association of Australia (AOPA) represents the bulk of aircraft owners and pilots in Australia. In representing these interests, we essentially represent the Australian General Aviation community1. The AOPA does not however restrict its representation on this basis but rather such representation is a natural constituency. AOPA does not seek to represent the interests of major air transport operators such as; Qantas, Ansett Airlines and the larger regional airline operators such as, Kendall Airlines and Hazelton Airlines. AOPA in providing such representation seeks to protect our members’ rights to fly without unnecessary restrictions or costs. The AOPA maintains a much wider brief on behalf of our members than just political representation. Through AOPA’s member services and publications we provide a forum to publicise, discuss and improve aviation in Australia by providing information to members about: trade shows, air displays, youth programs, technology, aircraft maintenance, flight training and education. AOPA is thus a keen advocate of providing an economic and regulatory environment in which aviation can develop and flourish in Australia. AOPA is of the view that the major impediments to the development of aviation in Australia are: • Economics, • Infrastructure, and • Excessive Government Regulation AOPA’s submission to the Committee will briefly address these issues. GENERAL AVIATION - A SNAPSHOT Economic Contribution General Aviation (GA) in Australia is an industry that contributes some $500,000,000 plus per annum into the national economy2. GA businesses fall in the small to medium size firm category with Charter businesses having median incomes of $102,000 per annum. Flying Training businesses having median incomes of $156,000 per annum.

  • Civil Aviation Heritage in Australia's Northern Territory
    Public History Review Flying Below the Radar: Vol. 28, 2021 Civil Aviation Heritage in Australia’s Northern Territory Fiona Shanahan DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5130/phrj.v28i0.7452 The first flight to arrive in the Northern Territory (NT) of Australia is surrounded by debate. Wrigley and Murphy landed in the Territory after flying from Point Cook in Victoria on 8th December 1919. Yet the location of this event remains unclear. Was it Alexandria Station or Avon Downs Station? And why was such an important event not well recorded? Perhaps it was overshadowed by the arrival of the Vickers Vimy and its crew on 10th December 1919 © 2021 by the author(s).
