Recent reports highlight ongoing issues within Australia's airline industry, with significant flight delays and cancellations causing concern among travelers and prompting calls for enhanced consumer protections. In February, Qantas was identified as having the worst domestic cancellation rate, leading to an official statement from the airline addressing the reasons behind the scrapping of hundreds of services. Additionally, data revealed that more than one in four domestic flights were delayed during the same period, with a total of 1750 flights cancelled. This situation has added momentum to a Coalition push for stronger consumer protections in the airline sector.
