"I had the pleasure
of attending the much publicised launch of the new
Virgin Blue international airline 'V Australia'
earlier this month with typical Virgin fanfare. Sir
Richard Branson along with Morris Iemma put on a
'song and dance' show as you would expect as they
announced daily flights Sydney/Los Angeles from 15
December. It has been public knowledge for a long
time that Qantas have been very protective of the
key trans pacific route which has reported to have
delivered up to 20% of the airlines profits. V
Australia have announced business class fares from
$9,999 which represent a 20%+ saving over the
competition. Undoubtedly Qantas and United Airlines
will defend their share and ultimately the extra
capacity and competition will benefit the consumer.
