  • Aviation in the Pacific International Aviation Services Are Crucial to Trade, Growth, and Development in the Pacific Region
    Pacific Studies Series About Oceanic Voyages: Aviation in the Pacific International aviation services are crucial to trade, growth, and development in the Pacific region. Improved access provided by international aviation from every other region in the world to an increasing number of islands is opening new opportunities. Tourism contributes substantially to income and employment in many Pacific countries, usually in areas outside of the main urban centers, and enables air freight services for valuable but perishable commodities that would otherwise not be marketable. Although some features of the Pacific region make provision of international aviation services a challenge, there have also been some notable successes that offer key lessons for future development. Case studies of national aviation sector experience show the value of operating on commercial principles, attracting international and OCEANIC V private-sector capital investment, assigning risk where it can best be managed, and liberalizing market access. Integration of the regional market for transport services, combined with harmonized but less restrictive regulations, would facilitate a greater range of services at more competitive prices. Pacific island country governments have the ability to create effective operating environments. When they do so, experience O shows that operators will respond with efficient service provision. YAGES: About the Asian Development Bank Av ADB aims to improve the welfare of the people in the Asia and Pacific region, IATI particularly the nearly 1.9 billion who live on less than $2 a day.

    ASX/Media Release QANTAS GROUP POSTS SIGNIFICANT LOSS FROM FULL YEAR OF COVID • Underlying Loss Before Tax: $1.83 billion • Statutory Loss Before Tax: $2.35 billion • $12 billion revenue impact from COVID-19 crisis in FY21 • Net debt reduced in 2H21 to $5.9 billion • Statutory Net Free Cash flow of $267 million in 2H21 • Restructuring program ahead of target, delivering $650 million in year one • Total liquidity of $3.8 billion, providing buffer against uncertainty • 95 per cent of domestic flying cash positive • Record performance by Qantas Freight mostly offsetting cost of idling international operations • Continued strong cash generation, growth in members at Qantas Loyalty • Updated plan for restart of international services from end-2021 • Ongoing flexibility for customers in response to booking uncertainty 26 August 2021: The Qantas Group has posted a substantial full year loss as a result of the COVID crisis – but has started FY22 in a fundamentally better position to deal with uncertainty and manage its recovery compared with 12 months ago. Total revenue loss from COVID reached $16 billion as the full year impact of minimal international travel and multiple waves of domestic border restrictions continued to hit travel demand. The Group’s Underlying PBT loss was $1.83 billion. The statutory loss before tax – which includes one-off costs such as redundancies and aircraft write downs – was $2.35 billion. Underlying EBITDA was $410 million, in line with guidance provided in May. Periods of open domestic borders in the second half saw significant cash generation by Qantas and Jetstar, which helped the Group to reduce net debt from $6.4 billion in February 2021 down to $5.9 billion by the end of June.
