Stephanie Tully: Jetstar CEO on Qantas and Jetstar committing to NZ despite axing flights
Description
Qantas and Jetstar have announced their biggest-ever investment in New Zealand.
Chief Executive Vanessa Hudson says the Qantas Group wants to work with our Government to achieve more routes, access, and affordability.
She says Jetstar's undergoing it's biggest-ever expansion in New Zealand and has added more than 800-thousand trans-Tasman seats over the past 12 months.
Hudson acknowledges the airline's had to hike fares and cut some flights due to rising jet fuel prices, but says committing to New Zealand is important.
Jetstar CEO Stephanie Tully told Mike Hosking their biggest challenge is the fuel price, so they have to manage their business and stay focused on how they can mitigate that.
She says the reason she, Hudson, and other executives are in the country is to reaffirm their commitment to offering great value to travelling New Zealanders.
