Jetstar says Virgin Australia rebranding has delivered RASK growth 'at levels we've not seen'

Jetstar Group CEO Jayne Hrdlicka, speaking at the carriers’ 2015 investor day, said (12-May-2015) Jetstar Airways has a strong customer proposition due to Virgin Australia’s rebranding into a full-service carrier. Ms Hrdlicka explained: “Virgin’s core customers were low fares customers. What happens as Virgin moves to a premium position? What happens as they implement new pricing strategies?” Ms Hrdlicka continued: “Customers start shopping. Low fares customers that were loyal to Virgin start shopping, and we’re seeing the benefits from that day in, day out with RASK growth at levels we’ve not seen.” [more - original PR]
