A new airline, Koala Airlines, is preparing to enter the Australian market with hopes of lowering domestic ticket prices, though the specifics of how it plans to compete remain unclear.
The Melbourne-based aviation company recently launched a website showcasing its management team, logo, and a rendering that suggests it may operate a fleet of Boeing 737 Max aircraft.
Following the recent administration of Rex and Bonza, Australia is left with only two major carriers on key city routes. Koala Airlines aims to avoid a similar fate by "carving out a unique niche that enhances the industry landscape," rather than directly competing with Qantas and Virgin. However, details on when Koala will begin operations and which routes it will serve have not yet been disclosed.
