This website airdownunder.com came to my attention today. It claims to be a budget airline that can take you from the UK to Oz from AU$899 rtn / £380 rtn or Auckland to London from NZ$1099 rtn.
Here is some of the information from their site;
"Air Downunder is set for take off from Melbourne to London Stansted towards the third quarter of 2008. Flights from Auckland should take off towards the end of 2008. Online booking will be available in February 2008.
Air Downunder are currently in talks with a major Asian airline to acquire two Boeing 747 jets for their two opening routes. Air Downunder names top management, aims to offer lowest fares from UK to Australia Nov 2007, Melbourne
Australia's newest budget carrier Air Downunder has unveiled its top management. At the same time, it is serving notice to rivals that it aims to be the lowest priced carrier in the region.
Paul Moss, a veteran of the pharmaceuticals industry, was named as Air Downunder's chief executive. William Smith, the managing director and co-founder of Air Downunder will be the airline's chairman."
Its an interesting website which really is lacking in quality of content, however it's not April 1st so I will keep an eye on.
Expect a fresh blog as soon as the first plane load of Air Downunder passengers happily arrive at their destination.
