Thanks to an opportunity presented by Shashank Nigam,Grant’s just had an article about the ongoing Jetstarisation of QANTAS published on Shashank’s Simpliflying site.

It provides a background on the birth of Jetstar,its growth to date and how it is destined to consume more of QANTAS’mainline routes &aircraft. Head on over to Simpliflying and check out the article.

Thanks to Shashank for giving us the opportunity to gain further exposure to the global aviation world,it’s very much appreciated:)
