Why budget airlines are outperforming major carriers in reliability

Published

on

Budget airlines have emerged as the leaders in punctuality and reliability, surpassing the country’s major legacy carriers.

According to recent data from the Bureau of Infrastructure and Transport Research Economics (BITRE), Bonza and Jetstar have outperformed Virgin Australia and Qantas in terms of on-time performance and cancellation rates for the month of February.

Bonza, a relatively new player in the aviation industry, achieved the highest on-time arrivals and departures, boasting an impressive 81.7% rate.

Meanwhile, Jetstar, operating a significantly higher number of flights, followed closely behind with a 76.1% on-time arrival rate.

Flight cancellations reach record highs

One of the key factors contributing to the success of budget airlines like Jetstar is the utilisation of newer aircraft, along with the recruitment of additional frontline staff.

By streamlining check-in and boarding processes, Jetstar has been able to improve its punctuality and reliability, much to the satisfaction of its customers.

Similarly, Bonza has attributed its consistent performance to a dedicated team and strategic partnerships.

With a focus on delivering a quality experience at affordable prices, Bonza has maintained its position at the top of on-time arrivals for six out of the last seven months.

In contrast, major carriers like Qantas have faced challenges in maintaining their schedules, particularly due to industrial action and strikes affecting operations in Western Australia.

Despite these setbacks, Qantas remains optimistic about its trajectory, with efforts underway to enhance reliability and restore pre-pandemic performance levels.

As the aviation industry continues to evolve, the success of budget airlines underscores the importance of efficiency and customer satisfaction in driving competitiveness.

AI sector drives economic growth; Meta adjusts strategy, Palantir’s valuation sparks questions, and Nvidia leads amid rising competition.


The artificial intelligence sector continues to be a major driver of growth for both the U.S. and global economies. Companies at the forefront of AI innovation are influencing market trends and reshaping industries worldwide.

Meta’s stock has rebounded slightly following reports of potential cost-cutting measures and job reductions in its Reality Labs division. Investors are watching closely as the company adjusts its strategy to manage rising expenses and optimize innovation.

Palantir is trading at over 120 times forward sales and 180 times forward earnings, signaling investor confidence but also raising questions about valuation risks. Meanwhile, Nvidia maintains a market cap of $4.2 trillion as a leading AI chip supplier, yet competition is ramping up.

These moves highlight the growing tension between tech giants’ AI ambitions and the practical need to balance profits with heavy R&D spending.

Some analysts, however, warn that rapid growth may not be sustainable, with current levels of AI-related spending potentially overshooting realistic returns.

Analysts forecast $500 billion AI investment by 2026, transforming corporate spending priorities and enhancing economic productivity.


Analysts predict that artificial intelligence companies could invest over $500 billion in 2026, signaling a major shift in corporate spending priorities. This surge in capital allocation comes as businesses look to harness AI to drive growth and efficiency across multiple sectors.

Following strong third-quarter earnings, overall capital spending estimates for 2026 have been revised upward. However, investors are becoming more selective, focusing on companies that can clearly demonstrate revenue benefits from their AI investments, separating hype from tangible results.

AI adoption is expected to boost economic productivity, with significant investment already flowing into AI infrastructure such as semiconductors and data centres. The coming year could redefine how companies leverage technology to gain a competitive edge.
