  • Qantas' Future As a Strong National Carrier Supporting Jobs in Australia

    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.

    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.

The optinal city tour will end at about 4 pm, but you are free to leave at any time. • Make sure that you have a VISA if you need it! Remember that we will be crossing the Swiss-French border at CERN. • The CERN campus offers eduroam access. Things you need to bring: • Passport or ID, and if you need it a visa (for France and Switzerland) • Enough money to buy food and other necessities during your stay. We suggest at least CHF 100 (Switzerland is not famous for its cheap shops).

  • 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...”

    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.
