CAPA Live: Qantas’ Alan Joyce. Not “back to 2019 levels until 2024”

Talking at the CAPA Live on 14-Apr-2021, Qantas Group CEO Alan Joyce spoke with CAPA’s chairman emeritus Peter Harbison.

Some the key quotes from the following verbatim report:

• “We’re planning on being 80% (capacity) or above for the last quarter.”
• “We are seeing that the demand yields hold up pretty well, but we have been out there stimulating the market.”
• “International is burning around 5 million a week.”
• “We’ve won nearly 30 corporate accounts in the last few months.”
• “Jetstar should be out of COVID a lot bigger than it was going into COVID.”
• “When the Qantas group plays its best game it always wins.”
• “We’re also seeing the corporate market, the business market, not being as impacted as other markets around the globe.”
• “Internationally we don’t think we’ll get back to 2019 levels until 2024.”
• “To travel (internationally), you either need to do quarantine or you need to be vaccinated.”
• “I think that the 2020’s big strategic move for us is going to be (Project) Sunrise.”
