Qantas Group: "Group Domestic yields increased compared to the prior corresponding period. Group International yields in April were lower compared to the prior corresponding period, driven by Jetstar International's increased capacity and comparison to a peak leisure travel period in 2014, with the timing of public holidays. Qantas International yields were positive in the month.' Source: Company statement, 30-Apr-2015.
