Qantas Group passenger numbers for May 2012 were up 3.1 per cent from the previous year. RPKs

Qantas Group passenger numbers for the financial year to date (May 2012) were up 4.5 per cent from the
previous year. RPKs increased by 4.5 per cent, and ASKs increased by 4.7 per cent, resulting in a revenue
seat factor of 80.0 per cent, which was 0.1 percentage points lower than the previous year.

Recent Developments
On 17 June 2012, Qantas announced it will increase the frequency of services between Sydney and
Dallas/Fort Worth to daily services from 1 July 2012, reflecting strong demand for the services. In addition,
Qantas announced it was increasing A330 services on the Perth-Melbourne route from 15 October 2012,
from 44 to 68 services per week, replacing flights currently operated by B767 aircraft. Qantas will also
reintroduce B747 services on the Sydney-Perth route from 9 July 2012.
On 20 June 2012, the first reconfigured Qantas A380 aircraft entered into service. Improving fleet economics
through reconfiguration is one of the key strategic initiatives of the Qantas International transformation
strategy. There are currently six refitted Qantas B747 aircraft in service, which are aligned to the awardwinning
A380 product standard. In addition, over the next year, the 12 Qantas A380 aircraft will be
reconfigured by adjusting the cabin layout and seating mix to better suit customer demands for different
classes of travel. Upon completion, the combined annual benefits of this strategic initiative are expected to be
between $70 and $90 million.
The Qantas super long-haul fleet offers a world leading product. By December 2012, approximately 70 per
cent of all Qantas quad-engine aircraft will have an average age of 2.5 years or will be fitted with brand new
interiors.
On 30 June 2012, the Qantas Group and Jetstar Japan successfully completed documentation for the
purchase and operating lease of all 24 A320 aircraft comprising the initial Jetstar Japan fleet. Jetstar Japan
has already taken delivery of three aircraft ahead of the commercial launch on 3 July 2012. The remaining
aircraft will be delivered progressively over the next few years. These aircraft were originally part of the
Qantas Group’s order book and are now committed to by Jetstar Japan's lessor partners. The lessors include
Jetstar Japan shareholders Century Tokyo Leasing Corporation and Mitsubishi Corporation's subsidiary MC
Aviation Partners Inc., as well as GE Capital Aviation Services, Hong Kong Aviation Capital and Jackson
Square Aviation.
Update on Foreign Ownership
While not required under ASX Listing Rule 3.19, the Qantas Group confirms that the most recent
reconciliation found the level of foreign ownership to be 34.1 per cent as at 7 June 2012. The Qantas
Group remains subject to an aggregate foreign ownership limit of 49 per cent under the Qantas Sale Act.
