Introduction and Overview of the Australian Domestic Market
The purpose of this report is to analyse the Qantas Group Annual Report for 2013 with a focus on the role of Qantas in the Australian domestic market. While analysing the Qantas Group Annual Report for 2013, it will become clear as to why the Qantas Group results have been impacted by the competition from Virgin and Tiger.
Financial Performance within the Qantas Group
For the financial year that ended on the 30th of June 2013, the Qantas Group reported an underlying profit before tax of $192 million, which translates to a statutory profit before tax of $17 million and a post tax statutory profit of $6 million respectively. The development of the Qantas Group’s strategies set for 2012 and 2013 progressed in seemingly tactical ways, despite a challenging backdrop in both the domestic markets and international markets with stellar high fuel prices across the globe and an excess of capacity in Australia concerning domestic low cost and full service carriers. The international market also faced and continues to face over capacity
When discussing within the realms of the domestic market, importantly Qantas Domestic was profitable

Qantas management had effectively filled the gap left by Ansett by moving planes from the depressed international routes to the company’s expanded domestic market and by leasing planes from overseas to expand its aircraft fleet by
In 2011, Qantas suffered complications from inside and outside the brand. Several job cuts and structural changes, their focus on returns to stock holders and not its responsibilities to the share - holders all added to their external issues. The external issues that rose were the increase of new competitors, changes in consumer decision making, the high demand of customers for lower rates and better quality. Lastly, Australians began their international travels with other international brands. 2016 has proven to be a turnaround year for Qantas relying largely on the lowered prices of oil and the falling Australian currency. Qantas recovered from a $2.8 billion loss in 2014 to a net profit of $688 million within six months. The turnaround has been described as “one of the most remarkable in history”
Qantas is Australia’s largest domestic and international airline. Although Qantas is primarily a passenger airline, air freight is also an integral part of its core business. Other Qantas operations include catering, tourism and E-commerce devoted to transport and travel. In order to have an effective business and operations process, a company, like Qantas must be aware of the influences that can affect it. By being aware of the influences it enables the business to make decision and choices that can get the most out of each influence, by doing this it can assist the business in its endeavours for success.
In the local region, Qantas managed to outweigh its competitor by gaining a toll of 65% compared to its competitor. Evidently this shows Qantas is the number one preferred airlines compared to other competitor airlines like Virgin, Tiger Airways and Emirates airlines. However the situation is not the same in South East Asian region as Qantas only managed to obtain about 15% of market share compared to likes of Air Asia who leads the market share with 60% in this region. Conversely, this is not a concern for the airlines as the airlines managed to generate revenue of 5 billion dollars, with a predicted passenger growth of 4.9% which is equivalent to 2.9 billion passengers by 2034.

What is a Journey? If a person off the street was randomly asked this question, he or she would say it involved taking a trip to some other location, perhaps as a vacation. For instance, going to Hawaii or the mountains to hike or ski. This idea of a journey is not what Harris had in mind. To him a journey involved a person taking a close look at themselves and doing so with an open mind.
There has been a clear notion on what is needed in today’s education and that is diversity in the classroom to include material in the curriculum that openly addresses diversity. Teachers need to be aware that being multicultural is important, adaptation is required and ability to provide students with a safe environment. Meanwhile, also understanding the student’s interest, culture, and background is vital in the student’s learning. For example, according to Karmeen (2013), “21st Century Teacher Educator” and “Teachers as “Healers”: 21 Century Possibility? Or Necessity?” by authors Whitfield and Klug (2004); both promote the ideas of including multicultural materials in the curriculum. They both agree that the reduction of prejudice and promotion of social justice is key. One should obtain the knowledge to understand and recognize what is unique among different groups that each student represent.
Aerodynamics is the study of properties of moving air, and especially of the interaction between the air and solid bodies moving through it. Our guiding question was “ Which design yields the Paper Airplane that travels the furthest?” For us to have a good plane we had to make sure that we took these types of aerodynamics into consideration, drag, gravity, thrust, and lift. Drag is the resistance against something when moving through the air. The next type is gravity, this will affect the item based on the weight of it, the heavier something is the more pressure it will have pushing down on it. These last two go together, thrust and lift. Thrust is the initial boost that comes from the strength of the thing that putting it in the air, and lift is when something below is pushing hard then the same exact thing above.
