Qantas has for the fifth consecutive year succeeded its competitors for on time performance in both arrivals and departures.

The airline recorded the best on time performance for every month for the financial year 2013/14, ahead of any other major domestic airline, according to data from the Bureau of Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Economics (BITRE).

Qantas Domestic chief executive officer Lyell Strambi said punctuality is one of the leading reasons customers choose to fly with Qantas, so the airline is committed to reaffirming thatdecision every time they board a Qantas plane.

 

Royal Caribbean’s Quantum of the Seas celebrated a major milestone as the ship was docked out of the building hall at the Meyer Werft ship yard in Papenburg, Germany.

This was the first glimpse of Quantum of the Seas as she is revealed to the world for the very first time. The Quantum of the Seas and sister-ship Anthem of the Seas will introduce a new set of first-at-sea onboard experiences, such as Ripcord by iFLY, a heart-pounding skydiving experience; North Star, a thrilling adventure that transports guests more than 300 feet in the air on a breathtaking journey; cutting-edge transformative venues including SeaPlex, the largest indoor sports and entertainment complex at sea with bumper cars, roller skating and more; and the cruise line’s largest and most advanced staterooms ever.
