Qantas undergoes a metamorphosis as it attains 90 years of operations
As one of the oldest airlines in the world reaches a milestone, it is its youthful low-cost offspring, Jetstar, that offers a launchpad for the group’s future, along with a frequent flyer programme that any business would leap through burning hoops to own. And there’s still some life in the old dog itself. Now led by the man who established Jetstar, Alan Joyce, Qantas now looks to contain stiff domestic competition and to Asia for its international future.
