Here we go....like many companies around the world racing to the bottom of the barrel for slave labour and shonky parts to maximise profits over boeing.

Disappointing, just hope there is no job losses back in Europe and a quality control program is set in place.

Are they only doing it for the -300ER? Qantas still has heaps of them, and before their 100 or so 787 arrives, they'll surely be one to get those winglets... but does winglets really improve performance so significantly that even extends range and payload etc? Most likely not, first they will have ...

its a fair deal, Jetstar fly from SIN and opened up routes there, so Tiger can start in Oz. Good luck to them, always welcome another airline into the hostile Australian market

If it really is a matter of competition, AA , CO or NWA would be a more convincing candidate. AA and Qantas are both OneWorld members so it would be interesting to see how that one would pan out. Do any airlines operate the 777 between LAX and Australia?? If not then we could eliminate CO and AA ca...

How are they doing on the Melbourne route? As I can remember they fly it with B777-200ER. Normally it's VIE - KUL - SYD and VIE - BKK - MEL if I remember correctly. The flights are very well booked - as said before, OS is the only airline besides BA and is feeded by its SA partners on this route. A...

believe its quite healthy and with BA pulling out of melb OS is the only european airline in here...so less competition will be good for them, revert back to 767 ops soon as thats what i'm flying on when i come back to europe.
