Dubai Airport to go passport-free with AI, biometrics
Oct 23, 2024, 02:41 PMWell HKG already have a similar system enrolled for security and boarding (you can opt out at the moment), it's only a matter of time. Not sure why it matters, they collect all the same data anyway.

Aug 09, 2024, 08:33 PMWasn't there recently a couple of years where this could've been done with less disruption? I'm sure something happened around ~2020-~2022.....

Rex scraps 737 flights, goes into administration
Jul 31, 2024, 12:58 PMHow though? Low, sparse population, other than major cities, which are well serviced. Regional areas won't be profitable for a lot of carriers or just don't have the infrastructure/demand, some that do are already subsidised (Rex's own Qld milk runs for e.g.).

Losing Platinum Status
Jan 10, 2023, 01:37 AMThis makes no sense - WP for 10 years is 1400x1+1200x9 as a minimum = 12,200; LTG is 14,000, you should be no more than 1,800 away surely?

Is Qantas Australia's worst airline?

Borders getting tighter
