Information
IATA Code: AO
ICAO Code: AUZ
Known As: Australian Airlines
Full Name: Australian Airlines Ltd.
Country: Australia
Callsign: Australian
History:
Australian Airlines was a full-service airline based in Australia,
servicing Australian and Asian destinations between 2001 and 2006.
It was an all economy, full service international leisure carrier and
was a wholly owned subsidiary of Qantas Airways, although run
independently of the mainline carrier. Its main base was at Cairns
International Airport (CNS), with a secondary hub at Sydney airport
(SYD).
The airline ceased transmission under its own livery on 28 July 2006
but continued to operate flights for Qantas under a 'wet leasing'
agreement. This means Australian Airlines operated flights for Qantas
using its own crew / cost base but under the Qantas brand.
Qantas decided to discontinue the public use of the Australian Airlines
brand in favour of having Jetstar Airways as its leisure carrier.
Qantas and Jetstar is operating services to replace Australian
Airlines' routes, with Jetstar International introduced in late 2006 to
help expand the Qantas Group's international presence.
