Australians have changed their travel destinations, in response to the fall in the Australian dollar. Jetstar Group CEO Jayne Hrdlicka told the CAPA 2015 Australia-Pacific Aviation Summit in Sydney on 5 August 2015 that demand has shifted towards south-east Asia, which is cheaper that the US and Europe. Demand for domestic destinations is still subdued, but Hrdlicka expects an improvement over the next two years.

Virgin Australia’s international division posted an operating loss of $A49.5m in the first half of fiscal 2015, with a fall in yields due to rising competition on Asian routes such as Bali, Fiji and Thailand. Virgin plans to deploy its Tigerair Australia budget offshoot on these routes from August 2015. However, passengers are not expected to receive Velocity reward points for Tigerair flights that were previously provided by Virgin.
