Topic: Kangaroo route

	Kangaroo route - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The kangaroo route is a term to denote passenger airline flights between Europe and Australasia; these flights generally have a stopover along the Southeast Asia flight corridor.
		Flights along this route are considered to generate high yield for airlines; this is due to the large population of European ancestry in Australia and New Zealand, along with the long distances involved.
		The name refers not only to the kangaroo, native to Australia, but also to the fact that the journey was traditionally accomplished with at least two "hops" due to the stopovers, alluding to the kangaroo's means of locomotion.

	British Airways ethnic liveries - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		While almost all are clearly related to a country, each aircraft also carried the name of that country on the rear of the fuselage.
		The large number of German designs are a result of the existence of the BA subsidiary Deutsche BA, and the numerous Australian designs can be attributed to the airline's alliance with Qantas and the importance of the kangaroo route.
		The adoption of this livery was seen as a move away from the traditional and strictly British image of the carrier.

	kangaroo and pacific fleets
		Well, the "kangaroo fleet" is just like the name implies; Qantas farm Kangaroos and on routes where there is not enough demand to run aircraft use trained kangaroos to carry passengers on an individual basis.
		Kangaroo fleet refers to the aircraft used on the Eastern Hemisphere routes to Europe and Pacific to the aircraft used on the transpacific routes to the USA.
		The Kangaroo fleet does not have this second J lower deck sub-cabin, but commences the Y cabin at row 34, with a total of only 65 J seats.

		Covering everything from a HU-16 Albatross to modern Cessna jets, the fog which delayed the departure of the 36 crews looked set to be the least of their worries on a route which will take them across Europe to Corfu, through Crete, Cairo, Luxor and Singapore, before passing over Ayers Rock in the final stages.
		The event - five years in the planning, and scheduled to coincide with the centenary of the Australian Federation - is only the fourth time the so-called "Kangaroo route" has been raced.
		Race organisers revealed that a special trophy would be awarded in memory of two entrants who died on Tuesday en route to the starting-point.

		The decision not to use the A380s initially on the highly competitive kangaroo route surprised observers, given that Singapore has nominated London-Singapore-Sydney as its launch route and expects to start the service by the end of June 2006.
		Mr Chew said he was not surprised Qantas had chosen to deploy its first A380s on US routes as it was no secret that there was little competition on the route and yields were high.
		When challenged to say what the fares should be on the route he stopped short of committing Singapore to cheaper tickets, saying only that the airline would remain competitive and prices would be determined by supply and demand.

	1301.3 - Queensland Year Book, 1986
		In 1947, the famed kangaroo with wings insignia made its debut for Qantas on what became known as the Kangaroo Route to London.
		One flew west on the Kangaroo Route via South East Asia, India, and Europe to London, while the other flew east over the Pacific on the Southern Cross route to San Francisco, New York, and on across the Atlantic to Britain.
		The flying kangaroo was now a familiar sight in 23 countries on five continents around the globe.

		The Kangaroo Route is considered one of the main 'pillars' of Qantas' international profitability (the other being the Trans-Pacific Routes to the US).
		The Kangaroo Route is operated with British Airways through the Joint Services Agreement, which is signed off on by the ACCC, which allows for controlled competition, code sharing, joint use of ground services, and cost savings, which translate into very nice profits.
		The routes to London Via Hong Kong and Bangkok are covered by other deals but sort of mesh with the main route to London via Singapore.

		SYDNEY —; British Airways has warned it may pull out of the so-called kangaroo route linking Australia and Europe if Australia's competition regulator refuses to continue its price-fixing agreement with Qantas, it was reported Monday.
		British Airways and Switzerland's Lauda Air are now the only European carriers still operating on the Australia-Asia-Europe route after carriers such as Alitalia, KLM and Lufthansa gave up years ago in the face of strong competition from Asian carriers.
		The alliance between Qantas and its 17% stakeholder BA still holds the largest share of traffic on the route although the two carriers compete with at least 20 others flying from Australia to Europe.

	Telegraph \| Money \| Boeing in talks for non-stop flights on Kangaroo route
		Competition on the "Kangaroo route", which has 30 airlines vying for passengers, is also particularly savage between airlines.
		A non-stop flight would not only be attractive to passengers who can afford to pay a premium fare, but would spare an airline at least one set of landing fees.
		Qantas has made little secret of its desire to start a non-stop London to Sydney route, but there is still some debate how this could be achieved.

		Critics point out that the route is already crowded, with carriers such as Singapore Airlines, Cathay Pacific and Malaysian Airlines offering one-stop journeys.
		The deal was opposed by BMI British Midland and by Virgin's 49% shareholder, Singapore Airlines, which complained that they were not allowed to fly transatlantic routes from Heathrow, despite years of lobbying.

	FLUG REVUE October 2004: Qantas portrait
		The kangaroo airline's one-way fares between Sydney and the metropolises of Melbourne, Canberra, Brisbane and Adelaide are between A$54 and A$97 (€32 to €57).
		The reason why this route is so important to Qantas is apparently that many of the passengers who fly between the United Kingdom and Australia also have business to carry out in Hong Kong.
		Above all on the lucrative USA route, Qantas faces a threat from Emirates, which apparently is planning a non-stop service from Auckland to New York commencing in mid-2005.

	Media Release
		The new ‘green’ routes, the first major route restructure between Australasia and Europe since World War II, will drastically reduce aviation fuel consumption, cut greenhouse gas emissions, reduce travel times between Australasia and Europe and enhance aviation safety.
		Mr Smith also said the revamped air route structure, which capitalises on the advanced avionics aboard today’s new-generation of wide-bodied aircraft, would enhance aviation safety due to reduced route congestion and simplified air traffic controller workload.
		IATA estimates the new air routes will reduce aviation fuel use by a minimum of 25,000 tonnes annually between Australasia and Europe, while reducing travel times up to a half an hour.

		The route descriptions too are very good, mainly because Doug spent a long time visiting all of the crags and climbing many of the routes (research is tough, isn't it!).
		It is the hardest route at Mt Stuart, and the hardest on Townsville's mainland.
		Apparently, this is the route's third legitimate ascent, therefore this is a pretty significant achievement.

		A normal HKG-LHR routing, which is to say the shortest distance between the two, goes northwesterly, up through China, Kazakhstan and Russia.
		But this was so pushing the envelope that it proved a real teeth chatterer for the carrier's crews and dispatchers, who were forced to juggle the logistics of fuel, weather and diversion planning with utmost attention and accuracy.

		It involved changing the existing implementation of kangaroo to make it support multiple paths to the destination.
		Abstract: Kangaroo is a wide-area data movement system that provides high-throughput data movement by overlapping CPU and I/O. Though Kangaroo is a persistent data mover, network/disk failures can reduce data availability, because, Kangaroo can't route the data around failures.
		Also we envision to automatically discover routes to destination and ensure quality of service for clients that require high QOS guarantees.

		One of the routes mentioned that is now feasible is Perth to London, non-stop in both directions (assuming favorable conditions, of course).
		I don't think it would affect the passenger loads on the Kangaroo route all that much since I don't think too many ppl travel from Perth to LHR through Sydney.
		In any event, the routing doesn't save 'that much' time over what you'd do at present, which is change in SIN for the 4.5 hour onward flight to PER.
