You're the reason we fly

You're the new spirit of Australia.
While you might fly for many different reasons, we fly for one. You're the reason we fly.

A tale of two letters

We've been flying with the "Spirit of Australia" on our planes for over 20 years. In that time we've changed - and we know that Australians have been changing too.

As Australia's airline, we're working hard to meet those expectations. Everything we do is focused on the people who fly with us. So we're putting a reminder on the side of two of our planes.

Watch the documentary to see how this has come to life.

But it doesn't stop there.

This is just to remind us of what matters most, and as such we are making some big changes. In the coming months you'll see that everything we do is focused on the people who fly with us.
