I think you will find that CASA had a lot to do with it as well...

Not so sure CASA did have anything to do with it as most international flights flew (surely CASA would have stopped them if safety was a big issue, similar to what happened in Europe) and i know REX was going to fly out of Sydney but the icing conditions on Tuesday afternoon/evening halted that idea. They couldn't go below or above the ash cloud.

load of ***** - and that is being nice.
planes sitting on the ground not flying actually cost more to and airline than flying them with revenue passengers! Consider the lost yield all airlines that cancelled hundreds of flights must have experienced! its aviation economics 101. |

Aviation economics 101. In which country, Radi? Last time I looked, we don't do "101" in Australia.

So Hugh are you suggesting that Qantas would be better off just shutting up shop? If not then what Radi is saying is true. It would have cost Qantas more to be grounded than it would have to keep flying.

Certain costs such as depreciation etc get incurred whether the flight operates or not. cheers Dave |

Your labour costs also get charged if a flight is cancelled and you need to consider the flow on effects of canceling a flight as this too may have a fiscal implication.
