Qantas can't charge these prices forever: the challenge ahead for new chief Vanessa Hudson

Retrieved on:

Friday, May 5, 2023

The silver lining for Qantas has been that high demand for air travel has enabled it to charge higher airfares.

Key Points:

The silver lining for Qantas has been that high demand for air travel has enabled it to charge higher airfares.
It even managed to report a A$1.43 billion profit in the second half of 2022.

High demand, but not enough planes or staff

First is the time and effort to return to service the aircraft stored during the pandemic, parked at regional inland airports and plane storage sites.
Qantas put about 100 of its 126 planes into storage, retired six ageing Boeing 747s and deferred delivery of new Airbus A321neo and Boeing 787-9 planes.
Never in the history of civil aviation have airlines had to store so many aircraft.
And the pilots, flight attendants and mechanics that are being re-employed all require refresher training before being cleared to work.

Competing for customers

Competition for customers will be a relatively minor concern as Qantas struggles to catch up to demand.
But this won’t last as airlines rebuild fleet capability, and current high prices for air travel decline.
In the US market, for instance, airfares returned to their pre-pandemic levels (in inflation-adjusted terms) at the end of 2022.

New challenges for an ageing fleet

This will be harder for Qantas than competitors, due to airline’s extensive network of medium and long-haul flights (which use more fuel) and ageing, less fuel-efficient fleet.
The average age of the Qantas fleet is just over 15 years, more than double that of rivals such as Singapore Airlines.
