    The fast changing environment of the aviation industry plays a major role in QI’s restructuring. A number of events have caused QI to re-evaluate its strategies in order to adapt to its environment. The main factor in this case would be due to the economic instability experienced due to the recent Global Financial Crisis (GFC). Various costs have risen over the past few years, significantly fuel and labour costs. As the price of fuel is not of QI’s control, labour costs will need to be reduced significantly to accommodate fuel costs. With the Asian economy growing extensively which results in more air travel within the region, QI has seen Asia as a region where they can expand their business into and…

    Qantas Business Report

    Established in 1920, Qantas is the world's 11th largest airline and the 2nd oldest. It was founded in the Queensland outback as the Queensland and Northern territory Aerial Service (QANTAS) Limited, by pioneer aviators Hudson Fysh, Paul McGinness and Fergus McMaster. Qantas was a former government owned business; it did not view profits or efficiency as its prime goal. In 1993 a 25% stake was sold to British Airways. Qantas was privatised in 1995 and has had to adopt management practices to overcome both internal and external influences and had to change its narrow-minded culture. Although Qantas is primarily a passenger airline, air freight is also an integral part of its core business. Other Qantas operations include catering, tourism and E-commerce devoted to transport and air travel.…

    Qantas Groups’ performance over the 2007 to 2011 period has been relatively poor mainly as a result of the global financial crisis adversely affecting the firm’s international operations. Strategically, Qantas is likely to continue to dominate the domestic airline industry with the success of Jetstar prompting expansion into the Asia Pacific region. The most significant threats facing Qantas include high fuel prices, the value of the Australian dollar and industrial action. A comprehensive financial analysis reveals that compared to other airlines, Qantas is showing strong signs of recovery despite there being inherent weaknesses in its liquidity. A review of the firm’s annual report revealed the presence of various accounting issues such distortion in its depreciation calculation, however it was determined that they were not significant enough to greatly affect Qantas overall financial position. Overall the firm was found to be in a financially sound position and through the implementation of its “QFuture” program; profitability is expected to continue to improve in following years. An evaluation of the Group’s equity found that the stock price for which Qantas is currently trading is overvalued by $0.50. This is further supported by the fact that over the last year the price of Qantas stocks has been subject to a downward trend suggesting that investors may have already identified the overvaluation. As a result of the findings of our analysis we therefore make a “sell” recommendation for Qantas stock.…
