Bloomberg, one of the world’s most reputable business data platforms, used survey data from just 19 airlines to attack Virgin Australia and Air New Zealand, two of the world’s smartest airlines, due to passenger disruptions.
It is unclear why 19 airlines are selected and on what basis, but there are more than 1000 airlines in the world, of which about 400 generate about 95% of the world’s passenger traffic.
In addition to all the COVID and workforce issues, Virgin Australia, Air New Zealand and Qantas have been hit by some of the worst weather situations ever recorded in the last 3 months, with many flights cancelled.
In one week, Sydney recently recorded more rain than London in a year, restricting Sydney, Australia’s largest hub, to a single runway.
Bloomberg surveyed Virgin Australia, KLM, Air New Zealand, Qantas, Lufthansa, British Airways, American, United Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Iberia, Lantam, Air France, Ryanair, JAL, ANA, Southwest, AirAsia, Cathay Pacific and Singapore Airlines.
It left out all Chinese airlines, some of the largest in the world, as well as giants such as the world’s largest foreign airlines, Emirates and Qatar Airways.
Also missing are Etihad Airways, Jetstar, Spirit, JetBlue, Allegiant, SAS, Finnair, Air Canada, Westjet, Malaysia Airlines, Thai International, Air India, Jet Airways, Spicejet, Korean Air, Eva Air, China Airlines, Alaska Airlines, Frontier Turkish Airlines, Wizz Air and no airlines from Africa.
In the opinion of this website, printing such a report is a great distortion of the facts, a report that would never pass this accuracy through a university.
