Jetstar notes decision to partner with FSCs 'not an obvious thing to do' but provides extra reach
Jetstar Group CEO Jayne Hrdlicka, speaking at the CAPA Australia Pacific Aviation Summit, explained (04-Aug-2016) the decision to partner with more than 40 full-service carriers around the world was not a decision that was made lightly. Ms Hrdlicka noted: "It's not an obvious thing for an LCC to do, but it's a pretty interesting way to think about its because all of our FSC are carrying passengers who decided to fly on them because they were the lowest fare of the day." Ms Hrdlicka continued: "So we provide network reach into leisure destinations that they're not able to do."
