How well Qantas and Jetstar perform this peak summer season will leave an indelible imprint on the new CEO's resume.
Although Christmas is still ten days away, today is the single biggest day of travel of the 2023 holiday period across the Qantas Group airlines, with more than 150,000 passengers queueing up to get onboard. It is such a big day that Qantas has placed one of its Airbus A380s on standby as an operational spare aircraft to step in immediately should a major disruption occur.
