She shares insights on how boards can influence organisational culture, including examples from the recent Qantas culture report, and the role of leadership in driving cultural change.

Todos hemos tomado en alguna ocasión un avión, algunos lo hacen incluso varias veces al mes. En nuestro mundo más de 12 millones de personas vuelan diariamente en alguno de los 100.000 vuelos comerciales que cada día del año las aerolíneas programan de forma regular. Volar nos parece de lo más normal, pero es algo relativamente reciente. Los seres humanos no consiguieron despegarse del suelo hasta finales del siglo XVIII, primero en globos como el de los hermanos Montgolfier en 1783, luego en dirigibles y más tarde, ya en el siglo XX, en aeroplanos de ala fija más pesadas que el aire. Este último invento se lo debemos a los hermanos Wright, que en 1903 hicieron el primer vuelo en una playa de Carolina del Norte. A partir de ahí el aeroplano fue mejorando paulatinamente y durante décadas convivió con los dirigibles, que tuvieron una vida larga en países como Alemania. La primera aerolínea de la historia voló, de hecho, dirigibles, no aviones y lo hizo tan pronto como en 1909. Pero los dirigibles eran lentos, voluminosos y su operación implicaba riesgos, de modo que los aviones pronto tomaron la delantera. La primera guerra mundial propulsó la innovación y la producción de aeronaves de combate que, una vez firmada la paz, siguieron su desarrollo, pero ya como aviones comerciales. Fue entonces, en 1919, cuando el convenio de París reguló la aviación civil y nacieron las primeras aerolíneas, algunas de las cuales siguen existiendo un siglo después como la holandesa KLM, la australiana Qantas, la alemana Lufthansa o la española Iberia. Los años 20 y 30 fueron un periodo dorado que sirvió de antesala a la segunda guerra mundial, en la que la aviación tuvo un papel mucho más importante que en la anterior. Los aviones eran potentes, rápidos y ya de gran tamaño. La innovación no se detuvo, fue en esta época cuando aparecieron los primeros aparatos presurizados, los motores a reacción y brillaron los grandes hidroaviones. Antes de terminar el conflicto la convención de Chicago estableció normas para todos y creo la OACI, siglas de Organización de Aviación Civil Internacional. La posguerra asistió al surgimiento de grandes cuatrimotores para pasajeros como el Lockheed Super Constellation y el Douglas DC-7, que desplazaron definitivamente a los hidroaviones. Sería en 1952 en el Reino Unido donde se presentase el primer jet comercial, el De Havilland Comet, que tuvo una vida corta y accidentada. Le sucedería el Boeing 707 en 1958, un avión que revolucionó la aviación comercial gracias a su diseño, capacidad y, especialmente, su velocidad ya que podía mantener cruceros de más de 900 kilómetros por hora. Los años 60 y 70 trajeron la competición supersónica entre el Concorde franco-británico y el Tupolev 144 soviético. El segundo no pasó de unos pocos vuelos, el primero tuvo una vida de casi tres décadas, pero sus costes de operación eran demasiado elevados. En paralelo, los ingenieros de Boeing desarrollaron el 747, también conocido como Jumbo por sus descomunales dimensiones, el primer avión de fuselaje ancho de la historia. McDonnell Douglas respondió con un trimotor, el DC-10, y los europeos de Airbus con el A-300, el primer avión bimotor de fuselaje ancho, algo muy bien recibido por las aerolíneas tras la crisis del petróleo. La desregulación aérea en EEUU y los cielos abiertos en Europa transformaron el mercado, permitiendo a cientos de millones de personas volar de forma rutinaria gracias a la aparición de compañías de bajo coste como Southwest y Ryanair. La normativa ETOPS permitió a los bimotores operar rutas transoceánicas, sacando del mercado a los cuatrimotores. Alianzas como Star Alliance o One World optimizaron recursos, mientras que aviones como el Boeing 787 Dreamliner o el Airbus A350 introdujeron materiales compuestos para mejorar la eficiencia. La industria aérea nunca ha dejado de innovar y lo sigue haciendo. Se investiga activamente en aviones de propulsión eléctrica y nuevos modelos supersónicos que sean económicamente viables. Para hablar de una historia tan presente tenemos hoy en La ContraHistoria a Iker Muro, piloto comercial, contraescucha y, sobre todo, un amante de la aviación.

Almost a year after the swift and sudden demise of Bonza, some relief for its directors came this month with ASIC confirming it would take no further action against them. Absent any further evidence, the decision effectively draws a line under the collapse of a carrier that started with dreams of uniting “Allstralia” and ended in a storm of tears, recriminations and misfortune – but did it ever have a shot to begin with? Adam and Jake look back at the Bonza saga and what could have been. Plus, surprising news from Western Sydney as Qantas clarifies just which of its airlines will be operating from the new airport at launch – and it's not the ones we expected.

Australian airlines anticipate an exceptionally busy Easter travel period, with Qantas and Jetstar alone expecting to handle nearly two million passengers across their networks between Easter and Anzac Day. This surge in travel represents a significant increase, leading both airlines to implement measures such as rostering extra staff and having standby aircraft available. Travellers are being advised to arrive at airports significantly earlier than usual and to utilise online check-in and adhere to baggage restrictions to mitigate potential delays. Air New Zealand also projects a substantial rise in Australian passengers, particularly on trans-Tasman routes, urging travellers to plan ahead for a smoother experience. Overall, the reports highlight a widespread expectation of record-breaking travel volumes during the upcoming Easter holidays.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, we review recent half-yearly results and market volatility, discussing notable movements in the dummy portfolio compared to the benchmark, as well as significant shifts in commodities such as crude oil. We dive into reporting-season surprises from companies like Qantas, Hello World, Pepper Money, and Karoon Energy, exploring the lack of timely “confession season” disclosures and how that impacts investment decisions. The topic of whether to pause stock purchases during reporting season is debated, expressing our frustration over abrupt CFO departures and earnings “shock” announcements. We conclude with a “Pulled Pork” deep dive on mining services group Perenti (PRN), analyzing cash-flow quirks, forecast earnings, and overall QAV metrics.

Since the departure of Alan Joyce in late 2023, new Qantas CEO Vanessa Hudson has largely eschewed her predecessor's bombastic camera-friendly style, instead keeping her head down and focused on rebuilding Australia's trust in the Flying Kangaroo. Passenger experience has become the watchword, with the recent announcement of another solid half-yearly profit being accompanied by the promise of a cabin refit for 42 aging 737-800s as the airline awaits more of its new-generation Airbus fleet – but is Hudson's approach bearing fruit? Adam and Jake discuss the delicate balancing act and whether Qantas is beginning to climb out of the trust deficit the old management left behind. Plus, Qatar Airways' bid for a stake in Virgin gets the all-important green light from the government, and how can the aviation sector address the lingering gender pay gap?

Will a price war emerge as Qatar takes a 25% stake in Virgin Australia boosting services between Australia and Doha? Alxandra Jones speaks with Aviation Expert Ellis Taylor from Cirium, plus SBS Finance Editor Ricardo Gonçalves takes a look at the day's market action with Henry Jennings from Marcus Today.

Friday headlines: Australian divorce rates at lowest in half a century, Penny Wong accuses coalition of ‘gunboat diplomacy’, mystery surrounds death of legendary Hollywood actor, and Katy Perry is going to space on all-woman crewed Blue Origin mission. Deep Dive: The government has approved a deal that will let Qatar Airways buy a quarter of Virgin Australia. The deal means an extra 28 flights a week – and there’s hope more competition in the sector equals cheaper airfares going forward. The Treasurer Jim Chalmers yesterday greenlit the deal with some caveats – including a guarantee of an Aussies on the Virgin board and protection of customer data. You might remember the political shitfight that was Labor knocking back a bid by the same airline to operate more routes in Australia in 2023 – with the Opposition and others accusing the Government of being far too cosy with Qantas. On this episode of The Briefing, author of the Chairmans Lounge and founder of new Australian media company Rampart News, Joe Aston, joins Bension Siebert to explain what this is going to mean for all of us flying in the future, and what Qantas might be feeling about it all.

As Rex has limped on in administration over the past half-year, with prospects for a sale dimming, the question has occasionally been asked: might the government step in more forcefully to keep its essential services in the air? Now we have our answer: if the administrators can't find a buyer, the government is looking at the option to buy Rex itself, which would make the carrier the first in Australia to be publicly owned since the privatisation of Qantas around 30 years ago. But what would await the government if it were to stump up the cash for the ailing airline – and is it a good idea in the first place? Adam and Jake discuss what might be behind the decision, and whether it's scuppered any chance for a commercial sale. Plus, with the ACCC looking to wave the Qatar deal through, are Virgin Australia flights to Doha now all but inevitable?

On February 18 2024, Sydney was shaken by the disappearance and tragic deaths of television presenter Jesse Baird, 26, and his partner, Qantas flight attendant Luke Davies, 29. Their bodies were found in surfboard bags near Goulburn, and ex-NSW police officer Beau Lamarre-Condon, 29, was charged with their premeditated killings. Authorities allege he used his police-issued gun after stalking Baird, his ex, for months, with Davies an alleged collateral victim. In this episode, Tim and Xanthe reflect on the case, from the early days of the investigation to the current case being examined by police. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
