Qantas is proudly Australia's national airline with the highest standards of aviation and an unsurpassed reputation for air safety, quality and service. So why jeopardise this and risk everything by competing on price?
Today passengers on a Sydney-bound Qantas jet rocked by an exploding engine Thursday described how the plane felt like it had hit a "speed bump" and showered flames and sparks like fireworks. The Qantas Boeing 747-400 had to turn back to San Francisco about half an hour into Monday's flight after an engine failed, blasting a large hole in its casing. This is not the first safety incident involving Qantas. Has the 'low cost' mentality breached its airline safety across Qantas and JetStar?
