INSIGHT: Osaka Kansai, Tokyo Narita, Manchester and Los Angeles among major global airports offering strongest airline variety

Global air travel has changed considerably over the past decade thanks to major improvements in technology. Air travel is more efficient, more accessible and travel patterns are constantly changing as the industry continues to evolve. Disruption - whether directly through price competition or increasingly via technology - is the 'buzzword' of the moment and airlines and airports are planning for a very different industry ahead.

Brisbane to Seattle? You got to be kidding!

Qantas has talked about Brisbane-Seattle or Brisbane-Chicago to round out the initial portfolio of routes to be launched with the new 787-9 fleet.

23 October, 2017

Many of us would have now heard Bobby Healy's cautionary presentation on how Google is disrupting the travel space and ultimately may in the future control the relationship between airlines and their customers.

Accidents and incidents on the decline in Australia

22 October, 2017

The Australia Transport Safety Bureau released the September 2017 Domestic Accident and Incident Register highlighting a considerable drop in occurrences from 2016.
