Re: GM shuttering Holden, exiting all remaining RHD markets

Re: Qatar Airways: DOH-CBR

Re: BA, EK chiefs doubt the future of airline alliances

Re: Virgin Australia reportedly facing “severe cash flow crisis” with “very limited options”

Luxon was right to try push Borghetti out. His strategy has failed. NZ, having been burnt by ownership in Australian carriers before, were right to abandon their stake in VA.

Re: Australian Aviation Thread Part 146

Re: Airports that benefitted from new/first Int'l service
