Morningstar | Higher Fuel Prices Will Continue to Weigh on Qantas' Near-Term Earnings

Qantas Airways is Australia's largest domestic airline with around two thirds market share via its dual brand strategy. It effectively operates in a competitive duopoly with Virgin/Tiger in Australia, and its international partnerships helps to combat international market forces. The combination of the cessation of the recent domestic capacity war, the cost-reduction programme, the benefit from low oil prices, and the focus on optimising its capital structure are driving a significant turnaround in profitability, albeit in the face of rising competition on international routes. Qantas operates in a highly cyclical industry, and earnings are sensitive to fluctuations in oil prices and the AUD/USD exchange rate.
