From AFR
“ Lucas Baird Reporter Mar 6, 2020 — 12.40pm Qantas has announced another set of capacity cuts on its Asian services due to the coronavirus outbreak, while the Transport Workers Union pressures the airline over its duty of care to workers. The cuts start Monday and include the cancellation of eight return flights between Sydney and Hong Kong; five return services between Sydney and Sapporo; and another five return flights between Melbourne and Auckland. Brisbane-Tokyo (Narita), Melbourne-Tokyo (Narita) and Sydney-Osaka (Kansai) are also affected” https://www.afr.com/companies/transp...0200306-p547g5 |

Alice can land them but not sure the capacity given there are a heap of Max there now.
I would suggest the cheapest places possible so not the main centres. My uneducated guess will be Richmond, Avalon, maybe Alice and some regional locations for smaller like Mildura. Dont forget Wellcamp as well. Avalon would be a start for the A380's give the space available. Maybe a good time to do all of those non critical but important maintenance works? Just a thought....

Hopefully, some aircraft will be sent and parked at the painters to be painted in the silver roo livery.
Air NZ has also advised that it is suspending all trans-tasman services (an 80% reduction) except for five routes being: Auckland to Sydney: Reduced to seven return services per week Auckland to Brisbane: Reduced to five return services per week Auckland to Melbourne: Reduced to seven return services per week Christchurch to Sydney: Reduced to two return services per week Wellington to Sydney: Reduced to two return services per week Source: Executive Traveller They talk about aviation having boom and bust periods but this is the bust period to end them all. Hopefully, things pick up after the end of May with the coronavirus being contained following the government's measures. |

I don’t think they will be spending money on paint jobs when they are trying to protect the business from collapsing or massive job losses.

So, if you're booked and have to travel, what's the best ways to stay as safe as possible?
And are airlines liable for passengers affected by Coronavirus on their flights? |
