A wing and a prayer

Article Abstract:

Lindsay Fox and Solomon Lew hope to resurrect Ansett Airlines, but Ansett Mark II will have just 29 aircraft and 4,000 employees, or a fraction of the old Ansett system, and only a 5% market share. Rival Qantas has been aggressively signing up corporate travel accounts, so Ansett will have a difficult time getting the lucrative business passenger business. But Ansett II will have a much reduced cost structure, so it may just succeed.

And the winner isa Geoff Dixon: Chief executive officer, Qantas

Article Abstract:

Qantas CEO Geoff Dixon, commands respect and perhaps even fear, from his government regulators, international airline executives and Qantas staff alike. The constant shocks of 9/11, Bali, the Ansett collapse and SARS have all had a huge impact, but it has made the industry resilient and come off remarkably, and for an executive he certainly knows how to keep himself grounded, defying gravity
