Drastic changes to Qantas’ commission rates have caused an uproar amongst the travel industry, with agents bearing the worst of it.

Rex has signed an agreement to acquire one of Australia’s biggest FIFO carriers, no doubt sending Alan Joyce into a blind rage.

The whirlwind of wild Aussie aviation news continues, with Alan Joyce’s harbour front home receiving an egging while REX confirms it’s looking to buy a fly-in-fly-out carrier. 

While seemingly struggling to win popularity among its pilots, the regional carrier has turned to its agency partners for reassurance.

Similarly, Travel Weekly staff claim it is “beyond belief” that our proposal to Facebook to buy us for a billion dollars was rejected. Ridiculous!

The battle of the airlines between Rex and Qantas is looking more and more like a Shakespearian play full of treachery, deceit and manipulation.

It’s rumoured that Qantas shoved Rex into a locker and called it a nerd, although we may be mistaking this with an 80’s high school movie.

Has the prospect of spending $2.50 a litre on petrol this week got you in hysterics? Qantas can relate.

Regional cruise lovers, rejoice! It just got far too easy to book your clients on their dream cruise.

Long lines at the airport mean less time for leafing through magazines, milling about cosmetic kiosks and the all-important stop at Crispy Cream. We won’t stand for it!

Qantas is giving the pot a vigorous stir this week, comparing Western Australia with one of the world’s most repressive dictatorships and accusing its competition of “squawking”.

Rex’s new financial boost means that there’s now a third snack option on their flights. Sweet, savoury, or gourmet (it’s the savoury option with a bit of caviar on top).
