 Qantas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Qantas has responded by creating a new cut-price subsidiary airline Jetstar in the hopes that this move will "crowd out" the cut-price segment of the market, allowing Qantas to remain the superdominant player in the Australian domestic aviation market and one of the few profitable full-service airlines in the world.
On 2 February 2006, a Qantas Boeing 767-300ER VH-OGH, carrying 155 passengers and 11 crew, and a United Airlines 747-400, carrying 99 passengers and 14 crew, were involved in a collision while on the runway at Melbourne Airport.
It will be the second airline (after launch customer Singapore Airlines) to receive an A380 and is now expected to take delivery of its first aircraft in October 2007, after Airbus reported delays in delivering the aircraft [5].

 Federation and Meteorology, Memories of the Bureau, 1946 to 1962, page 897
Australian domestic and international airlines were eager to acquire aircraft that were faster, had longer ranges and flew higher, because passengers favoured smoother flight and the shortest flight.
British Commonwealth Pacific Airlines (BCPA) replaced the slower, lower-flying DC4s in November 1948 by pressurised DC6s in their Australia-North America trans-Pacific service.
The domestic airlines lagged somewhat behind their international counterparts in updating their aircraft.
